Appendix O – Create a Culture of Health A culture of health starts in communities where healthy choices about what to eat, how much to exercise, or whether to smoke or bicycle or work are easy choices. A culture of health starts where the environments in which we live—our schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods—are health enhancing. All of the outcome measures for goal #1 are centered on private entities and state government entities. One identified gap in the information we have about worksite wellness programs and health promotion activities within Mississippi is city and county governments. Over the next year, the Mississippi Business Group on Health and the Mississippi State Department of Health plan to survey local governments to evaluate their worksite wellness needs. Based on the results of this assessment, we plan to develop actions to expand wellness and health promotion activities into this sector.
