NIH Take the Stairs Campaign

NIH Take the Stairs Campaign

​U.S. Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams visits NIH in support of the Take the Stairs Campaign.
In partnership with the Commissioned Corps, Medical Arts Branch, DOHS, and DATS produced the Take the Stairs Campaign and completed the second phase with a stairwell beautification project in Building 10. This project encourages employees and patients to "take the stairs" as research indicates that any increase in stair usage can have positive health benefits. A similar campaign is currently in the works for Building 31.
