GRMC Wellness Initiative

GRMC is pushing forward with a community-wide initiative to build a "wellness culture" here in the Burlington/West Burlington area. The intiative is called Burlington Partners for a Healthy Community and includes healthcare providers, the Chamber of Commerce, insurance adminstrators, and our Safety Exchange. GRMC has brought in a heavy hitter-Sean Sullivan of the Institute of Health and Productivity Management-to help guide and measure the results of the initiative.

The idea is that communities with a wellness culture are more productive, and that it costs less to do business in such communities. Thus, these communities can use this aspect to market themselves to attract new business, similar to the more traditional measures like a highly educated work force or highly developed infrastructure.

There are opportunities for your company to participate in this exciting project. Contact Jamie Dengler at GMRC if there is interest at your company.
