**Our JSC Wellness Program**
- 	The JSC Wellness Program focuses on the core disciplines of Fitness, Nutrition, Stress Management, and Behavior Change.  In addition, we are enhancing our Awareness & Education Program.  Health literacy is the number one priority of our US Surgeon General.  Many people do not understand the impacts of poor health.  This may be because their medical providers use language that is too technical, or they simply are not exposed to reliable medical information in a timely manner.  We will be providing not only fun activities to promote health, but also a variety of health education events to increase your awareness of health and wellness.  Our key wellness focus areas are listed on the following page.

## Wellness Focus Areas

- 	The Health Assessment, physical examinations, clinic activities, and general wellness events are all important.  Many health complications can be avoided simply by knowing your current health status.  Find out what state of health you’re in by taking the Health Assessment.  See your doctor for a preventative annual physical and follow up with their recommendations.  We’ll help you to stay on track with our Wellness Program events and activities.
**Healthy Activities**

This can be achieved at the Gilruth facility in the weight room, group exercise classes, and health related activities.  Don’t miss the Health Related Fitness Program (HRFP) where fitness is designed just for you.  We will be offering our Nutrition Intervention Program (NIP) with classes that teach you how to eat healthy.  We’ve increased our Stress Management discipline and encourage our members to speak with a specialist, or call the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for one-on-one care.  Our Behavioral Change Program will be featuring the Just Loose It class and smoking cessation.  Come have a free consultation with a specialists in any or all of our wellness disciplines.
**Awareness & Education (A&E)**

We’ll be bringing information right to your desktops, your buildings, and your teams through our A&E Program.  Our new wellness website will be used to deliver a variety of activities for you to enjoy.
