Wellness Express

Anyone can submit a name and address of an individual that they would like a care package to go to. Wellness will calculate the number of miles needed to reach each address. Friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers from the community will help cover the distance by committing to walk, run, bike or swim to get the package delivered.

Friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers will help you travel the distance to get the package delivered to your friend or loved one.

UPMC Western Maryland will send a care package to the first 100 people submitted, once we get enough reported miles from participants in the community covering the distance to each address. The Wellness care package will be filled with self-care tips and goodies to help during these challenging times.

Recipients will be asked to verify receipt with a postcard and we will announce the deliveries at www.wmhs.com/wellnessexpress/recipients/.

To submit a name or find out more details, call 240-964-8424.

  1. Submit the name and address of the person whom you would like to receive a package by calling Community Wellness at 240-964-8424. The person receiving the package must live in the United States.
  2. Community Wellness will calculate how many miles it takes to get from UPMC Western Maryland to the address of the person receiving the package.
  3. Anyone (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) can sign up and commit to walk, run, bike, swim, a specified number of miles or minutes to help get a package delivered.
