Celebrating Employee Health and Fitness

Each year, the National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (NCP) promotes various wellness events for VHA employees, patients, veterans, and their families.  The National Employee Health and Fitness Day, celebrated on the third Wednesday in May of each year, is a very popular example of such events.  A great many medical centers organize "Walk and Roll" or similar events on that day for employees and veterans, along with displays of important health information.  Facilities are asked to submit a brief written report and photographs from their event, as well as reports and photographs of other employee wellness events such as health fairs, farmers' markets, and physical activity or weight loss challenges.
