Update #3: Worksite Wellness at local WIC Agencies: Overview of Survey Results (approximately 15 mins)
Rebecca Pawlak - Wellness at Work Coordinator and Adrienne Mullock - Public Health Educator, State WIC Program

Last spring, conversations about worksite wellness with local WIC agencies began. The state WIC office conducted a survey to hear the ways WIC agencies are incorporating wellness activities into their worksites - many of which are housed in local public health departments.

The survey was adapted from the Wellness at Work assessment tool and asked questions on healthy eating, physical activity, tobacco, breastfeeding support, and organizational/individual support for worksite wellness. The data was made available to RSN regions and may be useful for county wellness efforts.

#4: One good thing
