Through our Health Matters at Work program, we are dedicated to supporting the well-being of the local workforce by equipping them with the essential tools and resources to thrive in their personal wellness journeys.
Our goal is to support employees of local businesses in prioritizing their health by providing free wellness classes on a range of topics and offering multiple complementary health screening. Additionally, we equip local businesses with a monthly newsletter featuring valuable health insights and resources.
We strive to provide employees of local businesses with essential, life-saving skills, including CPR and first-aid certification, AED training, and Stop the Bleed Training.
