HASC hosted its second annual Health Care Provider Wellness Conference June 14-15 at the Hilton Los Angeles / Universal City.  Addressing both the need for worksite wellness programs and strategies for implementing them successfully, the conference provided information on the growing evidence of wellness programs’ ability to reduce injuries, health care costs and absenteeism while increasing productivity and job satisfaction.  

Representatives from California health care organizations as well as well from national and international organizations heard from respected leaders in the industry, including Diana Bonta, president/CEO of The California Wellness Foundation; Brian Cole of the UCLA School of Public Health; Dee Edington, director of the Health Management Research Center; Dr. Rajiv Kumar, founder of ShapeUp; and Christopher Scanlan, director with Arnold & Porter.

Drilling down to the economic benefits of workplace wellness, speakers highlighted the fundamentals of a sustainable program: senior leadership involvement, operations leadership, self-leadership, rewarded actions, and quality assurance; and the ways in which successful programs employ strategic vision, a systematic strategy and systemic solutions to become part of the organizational culture.

Various wellness activities throughout the event—from laughter yoga to an early morning walk, to the team-based ShapeUp walking challenge—kept attendees engaged while helping to demonstrate the value of staying active.
