COMPLIMENTARY SERVICES & OFFERINGS
Silent Wellness Fair
The Silent Wellness Fair begins at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, and remains open overnight through the end of Friday’s fair at 2 p.m. During this self-guided portion of the fair, community partners, and health benefits representatives will not staff their tables. Employees can browse displays, collect information and giveaways, and learn about available wellness and benefits programs at their own pace. Stop by whenever it’s convenient!
We’re added this new feature to make the Wellness Fair more accessible and give more employees the opportunity to learn about the valuable benefits and resources available to them.
Wellness services such as personal training, nutrition coaching, vision screenings, ergonomics support, and health screenings* will still be available on Friday, September 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
