The Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) public health team in the tri-county area has new resources available to improve workplaces. 

A free worksite wellness initiative for employees and employers is now being offered in Jackson, Cottonwood, and Nobles counties. This opportunity is available one-on-one or in a collaborative/group setting (i.e. with other worksites/employers). Worksite Wellness topics typically consist of healthy eating, active lifestyles, mental health/well-being, stress-management, commercial tobacco-free living, and other topics. 

Des Moines Valley Health and Human Services has shared information online about how to get started. Luke Ewald recently joined the Morning Juice to talk about worksite wellness. You can find that episode in our Podcasts section under the News tab online at kkoj.com
