1886.0. "National Employee Health and Fitness Day- Does YOUR Site Participate?" by SUFRNG::WSA028::BAUER_L () Thu May 07 1992 13:03

Hi Everyone!

This year I am helping the Nurse in Health Services promote National
Employee Health and Fitness Day at our site.


The official Poster for this promotion lists "Digital Equipment Corp" as
one of companies that are involved with this program, but I don't really
see it happening here.  I work at a large DEC facility (outside of New England).
The only person pushing this our Nurse.  Is that as it should be?


This NEHFD is organized by the Association for Fitness in Business.
It really sounds like a great idea, but I'm not sure how this works.

If you have the time to respond, can you tell me:

Does YOUR site participate?

What activites do you have?

Who initiates it? Management? Employee Activities Committee? Human Resources?
		  Health Services?

Thanks,

Linda 
(a DEC-walker)

1886.1	National WHAT Day?	NEWVAX::PAVLICEK	Zot, the Ethical Hacker	`Thu May 07 1992 13:49`	9
	re: .0 Never heard of it. When is it? Of course, it would come as a surprise to me if we actually HAVE a nurse serving the Greater Washington DC area (DC/Landover/Greenbelt/ Fairfax/Baltimore/...), but anything's possible. -- Russ

	These kinds of things only seem to happen in the GMA. The rest of the U.S. doesn't seem to have any * Days/Weeks. Bob
1886.3	Yep, but it's not DEC sponsored here...	GRANPA::CCOLEMAN	Meow Angelo paints Hisstine Chapel	`Thu May 07 1992 14:48`	11
	Our site is having one -- only because it is sponsored by the Office Park where we are located (Greenbelt). We don't have a nurse -- as a matter of fact, we used to have a sick room that had aspirins, bandaids, etc. But they had to get rid of it and everything in it, since we needed to have a nurse to administer aspirin! Needless to say, everyone has their own bottle of aspirins at their desk these days (and with all the headaches we've had lately, they go quick! ;^) Cheryl
1886.4	When is it? Wednesday May 13th.	TOHOPE::WSA028::BAUER_L		`Fri May 08 1992 10:33`	9
	The company that promotes this puts together a terrific package of information and ideas. It can be done very inexpensively. If anyone out there wants some information, drop me a line at TOHOPE::BAUER_L Linda

	Even in GMA I haven't heard about it (hi, Bob!). Sounds like something I might be interested in. Since I don't live where it gets to 100 degrees at lunchtime anymore, I go out everyday for a walk.
1886.6	Look at MKO and ZKO	BERN01::ZAHNDR		`Wed May 13 1992 07:03`	5
	Almost all facilities in NH have access to one or more buildings that have their own workout rooms with excellent equipment. This has been a company sponsored affair some years ago. Giant idea for all - not enough facilities are around.
