Testimonials

 

With one of First United’s pillars being health and wellness, I was encouraged to get my health checked out, which lead to a lifesaving triple bypass surgery! Since then I’ve changed my eating habits, exercise regularly, have lost weight, and feel better than I have in a very long time. I’m thankful that this was caught before it turned into an unexpected emergency situation. I am blessed that God has given me this new lease on life.

— Matt Woodland, Spend Life Wisely Ambassador at First United Bank

When I began my health and wellness approach I reframed my view and looked at it as a combined Overall Health Journey. I no longer look at weight loss as something on a checklist to complete and mark off, it is part of my life’s path and way of living along with managing my stress and loving myself with the same kindness I want to show those around me. After saying goodbye to 100 lbs. I am still on that path today, it’s not perfect and there are ups and downs, however I strive to be mindful about my food and drink choices. I laugh more and my family celebrates differently now, not every occasion is centered around the table and we look for activities to go do instead. As I look at the holidays I am so Thankful for both my family and FUB family for supporting me and continuing to encouraging me all the way. I am also incredibly thankful to First United for all the Health and Wellness resources they have made available. I would encourage you to always love yourself and push the negative thoughts away, treat you the same as you treat others even on the bad days there is opportunity for a fresh start with your next decision toward being more healthy!

— Lesley Coffey, Special Assets Operations Manager at First United Bank

The Health & Wellness Pillar was one of the many benefits that drew me to want to work for First United. After five years, I can honestly say I am the healthiest I have ever been. I believe that the encouragement and optional programs have played a tremendous part in what I have been able to accomplish. In five years, I have naturally shed over 75 pounds, increased my endurance, started running 5Ks and participating in fun runs, adopted a very healthy diet that has improved my overall well-being, and engaged in weightlifting, yoga, and cycling. Being part of a company that prioritizes health and wellness is a blessing, and I’m thankful to have had the resources over the past few years. I look forward to what I can continue to accomplish.
