Go Green, Get Healthy Campaign

Implement a wellness program: reduce absenteeism, and reduce your county’s overall healthcare costs.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading causes of premature death are linked to personal behaviors, including smoking, unhealthy diets, and lack of physical activity. Because most adults spend at least half of their waking hours at work, employee wellness programs can have a powerful impact on health. By implementing a worksite wellness program, you can improve your own health, as well as the health of your employees.
