Walk the Wave：A Thousand Steps to Wellness
“Walk the Wave: A Thousand Steps to Wellness” is an innovative workplace health initiative led by a healthcare institution committed to sustainable development. Grounded in professional medical expertise and lifestyle medicine principles, the project integrates digital tools, gamified challenges, and behavior science to promote healthy habits among over 1,000 employees. It directly supports SDGs 3, 4, 8, and 13 by fostering early health risk detection, enhancing health literacy, creating a psychologically safe workplace, and embedding low-carbon behaviors such as walking into daily routines.
The program achieved significant outcomes, including 1.28 billion steps taken, 736 kg of weight loss, and over 900 years reduced in biological age. With high engagement and emotional resonance—635 employees voluntarily shared their wellness journeys—the initiative has transformed health promotion into a daily habit and cultural norm. Designed with scalability in mind, the project has been replicated across industries and partner organizations, showcasing how medical institutions can lead sustainable change from within and amplify social impact through cross-sector collaboration.
