WHY WELLNESS?
Shelby County Government is dedicated to the health of our employees. The Total Health Wellness Program was developed in 2012 based on the
following 2011 results for SCG:
- Hypertension, Diabetes, and Metabolic Disorder were the most prevalent chronic diseases among employees and spouses on the health plan.
- Coronary Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Hypertension account for the top 3 chronic conditions by costs.
- Less than 30% of all SCG Health Plan members completed and Adult Wellness visit for preventative health.
CREATING A HEALTHY WORKPLACE
The workplace and the health of the employees within it are inseparable. Ideally, workplaces should not only protect
the safety and well-being of employees but also provide them opportunities for better long-term health and
enhanced quality of life. The goal of the Total Health Wellness Program is to support the health and well-being of Shelby County Government employees.
