Registration is now available online for the First Annual Hospital Wellness Conference.

HASC has partnered with the Corporate Health and Wellness Association to provide an educational platform surrounding employee health and wellness within hospitals and health care providers in the region. One of the key reasons for hospitals to improve their health and wellness programs, as mentioned by the American Hospital Association’s January 2011 Call to Action, is to provide an example of health to the community. Top challenges hospitals have faced when attempting to implement effective health and wellness programs include motivating employees over time, managing financial restraints or limitations, measuring program effectiveness and ROI, and creating a culture of health.

“HASC is proud to partner with the Corporate Health and Wellness Association to sponsor this important conference that will highlight the critical role hospitals and other health care providers play in their communities in creating a culture of health,” said Teri Hollingsworth, vice president of Human Resources Services at HASC. “This informative event will present examples of employee wellness initiatives from leading hospitals and provide strategies and tactics to assist organizations seeking to start or enhance their existing wellness program.”
