The district recognizes the benefits to both employers and employees of workplace programs that promote and support employee health and wellness.   Wellness programs have been shown to increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and on-the-job injuries, and improve morale and the quality of life for employees.  Wellness programs play an important role in containing health care costs for employers and employees.

Our primary focus is on preventing healthy employees from developing chronic diseases by increasing awareness of their own personal risk factors.  The District supports opportunities for employees to become more physically active, select healthier foods, avoid tobacco, and manage stress.  Our wellness programs seek to support those with existing health concerns to return to wellbeing through education and opportunities to participate in disease management programs.
