BURLINGTON – Grace Cottage Hospital will be honored with the Worksite Wellness Gold Level Award, presented by the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports and the Vermont Department of Health at the Worksite Wellness Conference on March 27.
The all-day conference will be held at the Sheraton Hotel & Conference Center in South Burlington. Crystal Mansfield, Grace Cottage’s Community Wellness Director, will be representing Grace Cottage and receiving the award. This is the second year that Grace Cottage has been honored. Last year, Grace Cottage received a Bronze Level Award.The awards recognize employee wellness programs that decrease absenteeism and employee turnover, and lower healthcare costs.
“Worksites that promote healthy eating, physical activity, tobacco use cessation, and breastfeeding, contribute to the overall health and wellness of all Vermonters, and they are one of the key reasons we are routinely rated the nation’s healthiest state,” said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD.
