Thanks to everyone for a fantastic 2008 Turning Point and Oklahoma Fit Kids Conference. See you next year!
Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Program
The Oklahoma Academy for State Goals, the Oklahoma Turning Point Council, the State Chamber of Commerce, and the Oklahoma State Department of Health are pleased to announce a new health initiative for Oklahoma businesses. Called the Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Program, this initiative seeks to recognize those businesses (both profit and non-profit) that are working to improve Oklahoma’s health status by providing health and wellness opportunities for their employees.
We have developed a Certified Healthy Business Form for you to fill out. What is in it for you? You will be recognized as a business that is doing positive health and wellness activities for its employees, and contributing to the improving the health of all Oklahomans. Eventually, we hope the Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Program will serve as a model to encourage health insurers to consider rate changes for those businesses that become certified.
Applications are due in on October 15. Upon review of the tally sheet, those businesses that meet the criteria and become certified will be honored during a special event.
