The time to act is now.
Change our culture into one that values health–everywhere for everyone.
Working together and across sectors toward a common goal.
BUSINESS
EDUCATION
Better Education = Healthier Lives
Education leads to better jobs and income – but also to longer, healthier lives.
The link between more education and better health is stronger than you think.
Three Health and Wellness Chamber Approaches
Ready to Learn Work with key community stakeholders and service providers to increase investments in
quality early childhood education and wellness services to ensure children are
healthy and ready to learn by the time they reach kindergarten.
Business Benefits Children who are healthier learn better and
children who are more educated are healthier; thus, improving education
attainment and health outcomes is critical to ensuring a more talented and productive
future workforce.
Workplace Wellness Help employers implement innovative and effective programs and workplace policies that encourage employees to
adopt healthier lifestyles.
Business Benefits Wellness program produce more
productive employees, help attract and retain talent, build staff morale, minimize staff turnover, combat
employee absenteeism and reduce health care costs for employers.
Healthy Community Culture Offer opportunities for chamber members
to participate in health and wellness focused councils and/or events that seek to improve access to quality healthcare
and raise the quality of life for their residents.
Business Benefits Healthy communities attract talent and increase employer net profits and drive business development within industries like tourism, which can be the tipping point towards economic vitality and
equitable prosperity.
