Start-Up Guide

The Wellness Start-Up Guide provides a road map for implementing and sustaining an effective wellness program.  The intent is that this tool will serve as a useful resource in the pursuit of a healthier state of well being for all employees.

Special thanks go to Brenda Burdette and Wellness Works, the Employee Wellness program at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida, for the original compilation of this start-up kit. Additional contributions came from Pamela Chester and the VISN 2 Employee Wellness Council, the National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, and the National Employee Wellness Advisory Workgroup.
