Worksite Wellness is an important issue for businesses because it really does affect the bottom line.

The Work Well Pilot Project (Jan.-June 2016) was a great success and eight Chamber member companies successfully completed project benchmarks: Community College of Aurora; Music Go Round – Aurora, CO; Mobile Physicians Network; Alzheimer’s Association: Colorado Chapter; Fitzsimons Credit Union; Arapahoe County Early Childhood Council; Central Colorado AHEC; and Aurora Chamber of Commerce.

These participating organizations and businesses received – at no cost – advising sessions, wellness resources, program assistance, trainings, workshops, and some funding. The Work Well Project is a collaboration between the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and Tri-County Health Department, funded by a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

On September 8, Work Well 2.0 was kicked off at The Chamber with a healthy breakfast, a panel of participants from the Pilot Project sharing their stories and ideas, and the opportunity for additional Chamber member businesses to engage in Work Well 2.0.
