The Michigan Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports has awarded GVSU the 2000 Silver Healthy Workplace Award for its Campus Wellness Program.
Companies nominated for the award must demonstrate an outstanding commitment to the health of their employees by a work site health promotion program within the previous calendar year. The silver award is the second of four levels. GVSU received the Rookie of the Year Health Workplace Award last fall.
GVSU has made a tremendous effort to address the health and wellness issues of its employees by establishing the Campus Wellness Center, said Brenda Reeves, director of Health, Recreation and Wellness. I am pleased with the support we've gotten on campus. I hope to continue to expand our wellness services and programs on campus by offering more health promotion programs, education and fitness opportunities for our faculty and staff.
The programs we've initiated are good ones, said President Arend D. Lubbers. They are making our workplace healthier.
