The Healthy Living Coalition and Logan County Health District are kicking off a new worksite physical activity program for Logan County businesses.
All participating businesses will receive a welcome basket that includes:
- Easy exercise gear;
- Worksite physical activity program toolkit;
- Worksite physical activity program summary; and
- List of community resources.
All that is required for participating businesses is to agree to incorporate more physical activity into their workday that suits their work environment. During the course of program implementation, they also are asked to answer two surveys.
Physical inactivity can lead to chronic disease, obesity and many other health issues that are largely preventable. Roughly 39 percent of Logan County residents are obese, and more than 3,000 residents were treated for chronic disease in 2021.
Physical activity can reduce the effects of chronic disease, reduce health risks, and lower healthcare costs for both employees and employers!
If your business has any questions or is interested in participating in the program, contact Megan Bailey at (937) 651-3033 or mbailey.
