Your employees will welcome a wellness fair after Jan. 1
After a holiday season of family gatherings and parties with food and drink in abundance, your employees will welcome a health fair after the first of the year.
Health or wellness fairs are a welcome employee benefit that can also help reduce your medical costs.
The best health fairs engage employees in activities, offer health screenings and provide information about health issues.
Physicians Quality Care OCCMed can help you set up your health fair, and we can manage many of the services you’ll want at your fair.
This includes general health risk assessments; screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure and cancer; cardiovascular risk assessment; immunizations (including flu shots); any requested laboratory services and tests; and education and training sessions.
In compliance with HIPAA and privacy regulations, we can then compile your employees’ health information into a generalized corporate health report to allow you to identify and manage health problems within your organization.
Let’s get started
Planning ahead will make your event more successful.
- Contact Jennifer Carmack, OCCMed Director, at jennifer@physiciansqualitycare.com or 731-984-8400 to get started.
- Ask employees ahead of time to find out what they would like to see at their health fair.
Engage employees
Here are some ideas to make your fair an event employees won’t want to miss.
- Healthy cooking demonstrations, complete with recipes and taste testing.
- Vendors that offer giveaways along with that health information or screening.
- Incentives and prizes to encourage walking and other forms of exercise.
- Activities, such as massages, how to install child car seats, a CPR class or a demonstration on the proper way to lift heavy objects.
- Find ways to include employee family members.
- Give out goodie bags that include healthy food samples or coupons for a gym membership.
- Include family members.
