A Guide to Wellness Offerings in 2010
Become a Healthier You!
It's a new year. Why not resolve to take a step toward better health? In 2010, Saint Joseph Health System (SJHS) is making a stronger commitment to helping employees improve their health and well-being. Echoing Catholic Health Initiatives' new program, CHI Healthy Spirit, SJHS is launching new programs to help employees develop a spirit of health and have greater access to healthy lifestyle options.
Refer to the guide below for an introduction to the three core components for 2010 and existing resources you can access to improve your health and maintain those often-broken New Year's resolutions to get fit.
