Companies promote fit-friendly workplaces

The American Heart Association recently released its list of fit-friendly companies in the Oct. 27 issue of Forbes magazine. Two Jackson companies were among those recognized.
The AHA's Start! Fit-Friendly Companies Program, which promotes physical activity and health in the workplace, listed Mississippi Baptist Health Systems and St. Dominic Health Services in its listing of business who allow employees to engage in healthy activity during work.
"Start! is a national movement that calls on Americans - employers and employees - to create a culture of physical activity and health in workplaces," said Elaina Jackson with the Greater Southeast affiliate of the AHA. "We spend more time at work than we do anywhere else, and our jobs have become more sedentary; we're sitting in front of a computer. What Start! does is encourage companies to get their employees moving by providing walking routes, providing tracking tools that help employees to get walking and provide incentives for being physically active. Also, (it encourages) offering healthier vending options for their employees.
"It's all in an effort to get people moving and reduce the risk for heart disease, which is the No. 1 killer in not just America but in Mississippi. Obesity (is also an issue). When you're not healthy, you lose time at work, and this is costing businesses money. Start! is not just a benefit for the employees, but also for their businesses."
The fit-friendly recognition program is only two years old and this is the first time a Mississippi company has been mentioned, according to Jackson.
"St. Dominic really started focusing on employee wellness in the last three years. Since I've been here, I've been involved with our wellness committee," said Deidra Bell, the CFO for St. Dominic. "St. Dominic is not just the hospital but also St. Catherine's Village, our continuing care retirement center, as well as the other entities on our campus. We've really tried to be corporate-wide with this program.
"In 2007, the organization did its first wellness assessment with its employees to really get a baseline on the wellness level, the fitness level of our employees, so we could provide ways for them to improve their health."
The efforts have included various challenges, nutritional seminars and themed activities, like a heart focus during February, for AHA's American Heart Month.
"The program (at Baptist) started in July of 2007, that's when we started looking at putting a health management system into Baptist Health Systems," said Dr. Chad Rhoden, the clinical and research director for preventative medicine and health promotion at Baptist.
"A workplace wellness program is something that needs to be customized to an organization; there's not a standard protocol or template, because every organization is unique in their structure. It's not a 'one size fits all,' and I think that the mentality may be that there is. It takes some detailed analysis of the environment, the personnel, the resources that are available to implement a successful workplace health promotion. Having a reputable fitness center is certainly a positive and allows employees to have easy access to exercise; that certainly augments an initiative for workplace health (plans)."
One of the more difficult parts to developing such a program is working with those at a higher level in the organization to make time for this in the daily schedule.
"That is something that takes time in a large organization," Rhoden said. "Every area of management has its goals, its priorities and has a system that's been effective. When you start health promotion in an organization, it's very important to develop a team atmosphere, where everyone is working together toward the same goal and not detracting from the responsibilities in the individual areas. There is a level of commitment that all levels of management need to have in order to make it a success. That does take time and it depends on the organization. That top-level support and organizational teamwork have been instrumental to Baptist's success."
Because of the nature of their existence, these activities can serve as a public relations tool for the hospitals.
"Part of our mission is promoting wellness to the community. We needed to set the example," Bell said.

CHOP used to be an acronym
CHOP used to be an acronym for Cyclophosphamide, drugs starting in H and O and prednisone but they changed the two middle drugs and kept the acronym (and added -R for rituxan). I had this for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (NHL) in summer-fall 2003, after losing 20 lb of mostly muscle (down to 93 lb). I gained back 30 during and after chemo. Before starting chemo I was too weak to sit up but got progressively stronger during chemo as I regained muscle, except for periods of weakness for a copule of days after the 5 days of prednisone, which prevents muscle growth. My partner dragged me out for walks starting about a week after my first therapy, at first a slow progression to the curb and back (the porch step was a problem), sohbet odalarıthen we made it to the near corner, the far corner, the nearby orchard a few houses away where I sat as he picked windfalls, eventually around the block, to the pharmacy 1/4 mile away (a 'milestone') and after four months I made it to town 1 mile away, rested at the only placeopen Christmas day (Chinese restaurant) and back. That summer sohbet I went swimming and managed 1.5 lengths of the area (20 = mile) first time, 3 second. Next summer I went with another lymphoma survivor and gradually made it to a mile with rests. I still drag myself up stairs by the handrail and runout of breath, but am up to 15 pushups and 50 situps. Start with vertical pushups against the wall. Normal activities are not enough. I can run 1/2 of a short block, slowly. I am 55 now and bike everywhere. Hot flashes continue 2.5 years but every 3 hours not 45 min and shorter and milder. Still hurts where I sit. Doctor told me the foot cramps and frequent colds are due to chemo. Colds are caused by chemo wiping out the memory part of your B cells (immune response) and should be temporary, but they advised a flu shot. See my diary of 6 months chemo at http://keesan.freeshell.org/lymphoma1.htm (or similar - go to the main site). How long has it taken others to regain muscle strength after weight loss? sohbet, Good post,I think so!abercrombie and fitch on Sale, Hoodies, Jeans, T-Shirts, Pants, Polos hollister abercrombie outlethollister clothing Abercrombie Men Tee abercrombie womens polos Ruehl No.925, Men, women, and children's clothing. abercrombie and fitch , ,abercrombie and fitch and abercrombie and fitchfashion is bold and interesting, all thanks to the interestingand original designs of Don
I have a desk job and I sit
I have a desk job and I sit on my chair for about 6 hours a day. I go home and sit in front of my computer for another two hours. My back is starting to ache and it's not a good healthy life style. The company I work at has mainly desk jobs so we are a lot of unhappy aching employees there. A strange thing happened last month, one of our conference rooms got renovated and transformed. My company works with Clickbooth affiliate network program and since they take care of most of our problems they took care of this one. That conference room is gonna be transformed into an exercise room. Not aerobics or lifting weights like in a gym but all sort of gadgets for those who feel the need to stretch and relax a bit. My boss was worried we'd be in there all day instead of working but knowing myself and my colleagues I'm quite sure things will work out fine. All I wish now is to get a rooftop garden where we can have our lunch.
