Take #FitForTheFrontLine challenge to support healthcare workers

Baylor College of Medicine is joining forces with medical centers across the United States to take part in #FitForTheFrontLine, a national movement to honor and raise funds to support frontline healthcare workers. 

Starting this week and culminating on Sunday, June 14, the event encourages anyone to move, exercise and get fit in honor of a frontline worker and also provides a way for people to donate and raise money for a healthcare facility that is taking part in the challenge. 

To support Baylor College of Medicine, take a photo or video of yourself taking part in a healthy physical activity, share on a social media platform mentioning the person you are dedicating your post to, and include #FitForTheFrontLine and link to Baylor’s giving page. This link gives participants the opportunity to support COVID-19 research or the needs of Baylor’s frontline workers. Gifts of any size make a difference in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.

#FitForTheFrontLine partner medical centers include Mount Sinai Health System, where the initiative was created, Baylor College of Medicine, BJC HealthCare, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Cedars-Sinai, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Hackensack Meridian Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic, MedStar Health, Michigan Medicine, Montefiore Einstein, NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell Health Foundation, Northwestern Medicine, NYU Langone Health, Penn Medicine, RWJBarnabas Health, Temple Health, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, University of Chicago Medicine, UW Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis, Weill Cornell Medicine and Yale New Haven Health.
