17 Employee Wellness Program Ideas and Tips to Transform Your Workplace

Lynn Kane posted an update in the group Worksite Wellness 6 years ago

This past summer and fall the ACHD Wellness Committee encouraged a different employee each week to bring in fruits and herbs to infuse a large container of water each Wednesday. This was a huge success and the Wellness group has decided to keep Wellness Water Wednesday going. This is an easy idea you can introduce in your worksites.

Allegany County Health Department has a new (or revived) Worksite Wellness Committee. It is exciting to attend the meetings and see the ideas generated to improve the well-being of the ACHD employees. Thanks to Alison Robinson who has agreed to chair the group .

I noticed in your uploaded files that we are seeing increases in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea in Allegany County. Have you noticed any increase in the number of people seeking to be tested? In your experience, what % of people seeking to be tested are having symptoms of disease, and what % is not having any symptoms at all, but are just concerned?

Chrissy B replied 5 years, 11 months ago

Great questions! I do not believe there has been an increase in any specific population seeking testing. In my experience, about half of the individuals that present to clinic for a routine screening and test positive for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea are not having symptoms.

Smoking is the #1 risk factor, but family history of lung cancer in a parent, sibling or child also puts you in a higher risk category. Another risk factor is environmental…[Read more]

The 30 pack-year smoking history will qualify you for a screening CT scan.

1 pack per day x 30 years = 30 pack years
2 packs per day x 15 years = 30 pack years

Talk to your doctor about your pack year history to see if you might benefit from the screening CT.
