Work Well Winter Park

MONTHLY FOCUS: EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Provide educational health programs onsite or encourage employees to seek out informative programs offered by community partners. The more your employees are aware of disease prevention, stress management, healthy eating, and other health-related topics, the more they can take care of themselves and their families… and be productive members of your company.

At this month’s lunch, popular guest speaker Lois Dorotiak of Whole Foods Market returns to unveil these super-foods and how you can incorporate them into your diet. Join us for lunch and you will leave with new-found nutritional wisdom and a handful of delicious immune-boosting recipes that will help enhance your well-being and quality of life! Register here by October 7Cost: Free to Work Well participating teams and their employees / $5 guests.
