Wellness at Work

As leaders in the field of health education and rural health outreach Suwannee River AHEC has developed and implemented an internal workplace wellness program. Supporting and encouraging the health and healthy behaviors of staff is of primary importance for keeping well-trained staff productive and content. We also feel that staff who exude health are not only beneficial for the work environment, but also for the continued success of our community programs and outreach.
