I am a Univ.of cincinnati student doing research on obesity as concerned with the up and coming epidemic of disease related to overweight. Hail to the chief!!for taking this bold step. I am very interested to see data on increased health of employees. also are the employees feeling better, more productive?
In my current study on childhood obesity, evidence shows it is soaring to 20-40%. Kids have lost the social aspect due to too much “screen time” activities. With that,physical exercise has gone by the wayside too.
I am a RN at Christ Hospital in cincinnati and just love, love, love, your strategy on offering wellness to people. Hey, as far as the law suit…it is his decision totally, to work there or not.
Wish you were in cincinnati! Do you know any cinci. institution with similar ideals who needs a rehab nurse???!!
Keep broadcasting your strategy–we’re listening.
