Healthy Lifestyle Program for High stress hospital employees

Goal:• During a stressful day, many will not have time for a full

nutritious meal when working long hours as well as have the energy to go to the gym after a long 12 hour shift.

• My goal:• provide these workers with the nutrition they need and sending

them away from the vending machines• Provide exercise equipment to have available for employee use

Importance & Benefits• We put trust in our health care providers but just like anything

else, how can they be credible in their line of work when they themselves are unhealthy.

• High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease can both be silent killers and the stress these employees take on everyday is not healthy especially if they are not eating right and exercising.
