Taking the Lead for Wellness

Join your colleagues April 1-2 for this year’s Healthy County Boot Camp, where wellness industry experts and your peers will share tips, tools and resources you can use to help county employees lead healthier lives.

At-work wellness programs increase employee productivity, improve morale and boost worksite loyalty. Counties that participate in Healthy County programs reap these benefits and cut their absenteeism rates, health care costs and workers’ compensation claims.

Sign up today for this inspiring and information-packed event. You’ll go home with a refreshed perspective and the effective techniques to lead your county to wellness.
