We recently took a look at how well you, the WorkHealthy America subscriber, performs when you attend more web or in-person training events. Turns out that showing up DOES make a difference...

You’ve done tremendous work to change your policies, rework your food environment, add new benefits, but maybe you feel like your employees are not engaged in wellness. Sometimes the solution is simple. . . .

 We know that offering employees the highest quality of preventive care leads to improved health. But how can you work effectively with your insurers to make sure you’re benefits package meets the real needs of your employees?

Every June, NC Prevention Partners celebrates another amazing year of prevention at our Annual Meeting, celebrating the organizations across the state who have put prevention first, whether they are schools, hospitals, state agencies or private businesses. This year we want to celebrate YOUR progress with our Trailblazer and Gold Awards for WorkHealthy America participants. 

You may be asking yourself what is the best thing we can do to improve our health, what would have the biggest return on investment? EXERCISE!  Little things can help every employee get up and be more active.

  What a year of training we have for you!

 Thank you to the more than fifty hospitals in NC who have opted to renew their license to WorkHealthy America^SM! Starting in July, 2012, WorkHealthy America^SM will also map the progress of all subscribers, including state and local governments, schools, non-profits and private businesses.  Are you ready for the map? 

We have mapped hospital progress for five years, showing where hospitals are in their efforts to get A’s in Tobacco or Nutrition. We recently updated and automated those maps, and are now beginning the same initiative with all businesses in WorkHealthy America. In July, 2012, we will launch these NEW WorkHealthy maps, and recognize your success and progress.
