Public Health: Employee Wellness Month

Any worksite wellness program requires a commitment to wellness from all levels of an organization and that commitment should be part of the organization’s operation, mission and goals.  Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that employers make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities to participate in worksite wellness programs, but it’s important to think beyond just complying with the law, and move towards an environment that is universally designed to support health promotion for all.

Research: Fatherhood and your BMI

Numerous studies have suggested that men’s weight in adolescence and young adulthood, when they may be transitioning to fatherhood, is an important risk factor for diabetes, accelerated coronary atherosclerosis, future cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature death. The transition to fatherhood affects health behaviors which may affect body mass index (BMI).
