Promoting Worksite Health

Centers for Disease Control and PreventionNational Center for Chronic Disease Prevention Healthier Worksite Initiative (HWI) began in 2002 to lead federal agencies in implementing the HealthierUS initiative, which calls on public and private employers to encourage their employees to be physically active every day, eat a nutritious diet, get preventive screenings, and make healthy choices. CDC will disseminate evidence-based interventions and lessons learned to other federal, state, and private employers through an Internet-based tool kit. In fiscal year 2005, HWI will continue to develop and implement policy and environmental changes at CDC work sites that help people make healthy choices.
