A special thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2016 Business and Community Wellness Summit! Another large thank you to all of our sponsors for making this event possible. The Business and Community Wellness Summit consisted of 19 presenters who shared their knowledge on worksite policies that promote health, the Blue Zones Project, ways to assess community and employee health needs, square foot gardening, and so many more topics. This event brought a number of communities together so they could collaborate and brainstorm ways to make each of their own cities and companies more mindful of making the healthy choice.
