Celebration Kicks Off GE's Healthymagination.com in Vancouver
Vancouver BC, February 19, 2010— You can't win a medal or enjoy the Games if your health is on ice….

The group skate was preceded by a lively chat about the events and competition in Vancouver and a discussion on the importance of healthy living featuring the Olympians, VANOC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jack Taunton and GE healthymagination Vice President Mike Barber.
The discussion focused on tips for healthy living, how these active and retired athletes have learned to prioritize and focus on their own wellness and how the athletes of the XXI Winter Games did the same in preparation for their events.
