The School District of Lee County recently announced it has received the platinum level Aetna Workplace Well-being Award. As an employer with a strong commitment to improving the health of its employees, the School District features a comprehensive well-being strategy that employees are passionate about. This award is the culmination of the employees\u2019 desire to live healthier, more active lives and make well-being a priority.<\/p>\n
The School District\u2019s workplace well-being program focuses on creating and maintaining an active lifestyle, eating right, and earning incentives for program completion. The wellness focus is disease reversal, since most chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can be reversed or prevented, and employees are empowered with the knowledge of how to incorporate food as medicine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud to be part of a company that prioritizes wellness,\u201d said Heather Parker, Wellness Program coordinator. \u201cOur wellness program is truly about caring for our employees. It\u2019s an honor to be a part of a team that makes an impact in the lives of our employees and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n
The award application and well-being program were honored based on superior performance in the following areas:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Disease Reversal Programs<\/p>\n
\u2022 Annual Incentive Opportunities<\/p>\n
\u2022 On-site and online nutrition classes<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations\u00a0to the School District of Lee County on receiving the Aetna Workplace Well-being Award,\u201d said Sandra Lozada, Lead Director of Wellness and Strategic Partnerships for Aetna. \u201cThis achievement reflects the district\u2019s strong commitment to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment for its employees. Prioritizing well-being not only enhances staff satisfaction but also strengthens the entire educational community. We are honored to collaborate with the School District of Lee County in advancing these important initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
