Health Smart (Wellness)

Purpose
The mission of the HCC Health Smart committee is to promote individual workplace wellness. This committee was formed by volunteer faculty and staff during the summer of 2006 and tasked with implementing the Workplace Wellness Toolkit developed by the state health plan. Two employees of HCC received training on this kit, and returned with it to campus. The committee was then formed by recruiting volunteers. Our first meeting was held in summer of 2006.
Schedule
Current meeting schedule is quarterly meetings to review current initiatives and plan for future areas of focus for our activities.
Membership
The composition of the committee is broad based with both faculty and staff representatives. We feel it’s in our best interest to recruit members from all areas of college employment (all levels of all departments) in order to create as large a feeling of ownership for the committee and its work as possible. Also, since our committee is made up of volunteers, membership is a little “fluid” at times.
