NKY Health is committed to the health and well-being of our staff, as well as to holding down health care costs. The strong relationship between diet, exercise, tobacco use and chronic diseases make supporting healthy choices at work the right thing to do. 

The Worksite Wellness Policy was designed to make healthy nutrition and physical activity choices the easy choices, while being supportive of individual rights to choose. The policy provides the foundation for NKY Health to develop activities and modify work environments and policies to support staff health.  In addition to the benefits for staff, this policy demonstrates NKY Health's  commitment to healthy lifestyles in the wider community.

It is not the intention of these guidelines to dictate what choices individual staff members make about their exercise or nutrition. Instead, we want to ensure that healthy options are available for all NKY Health facilities and NKY Health funded meetings, trainings, and events.
