Date:7/7/2009

tional Walk at Lunch Day(SM) and associate recreation leagues. Other resources include a dining center that no longer offers fried foods, a fitness center and walking trail, an associate assistance program, disease management, case management, and Baby Yourself(SM) (a prenatal wellness program). The Chief Executive Officer and executive team have made BeHealthy Wellness a fun, energetic aspect of the corporate culture. Not only do executives participate in the programs and encourage their associates to take part, they also assist in promotions for the programs.

The Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles awards recognize those employers that have truly embraced a culture of wellness and are working collaboratively to improve their workers' health, productivity and quality of life. The underlying goal of the program is to serve as a catalyst to encourage all employers to take action.

Winners of the Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles awards were honored in one of three categories: Platinum, for established programs with measurable outcomes; Gold, for creating cultural and environmental changes that support employees who have made a commitment to long-term behavior changes; and Silver, for those employers who have launched significant programs or services to promote living a healthier lifestyle.
