In May 2022, Louisville Worksite Wellness Council presented SEWS’ Wired Up wellness program
with a Worksite Wellness Award. This year’s event was a condensed version of the typical awards application due to the inability of many companies to continue their Wellness Programs in the same manner as pre-pandemic due to COVID-19. Applicants for the award selected a few specific areas to highlight and tell how their companies achieved success in categories such as Tobacco Cessation, Disease Management, Physical Activity/Weight Management/Nutrition, Mental Health, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and/or Maternal Health and Lactation Support.

SEWS’ award was presented in the category of Physical Activity/Weight Management/Nutrition. A highlight of the submission is shown on the Louisville Worksite Wellness Council’s website and reads as follows…One employee at their Lexington location lost 116 pounds by using their wellness program. This employee took it step-by-step with better eating habits and more exercise. Their testimonial shows the support of the program and how it wasn’t easy, but the encouragement they received helped them to continue their successful efforts.

Congratulations to Jeanie Dickerson and the Wellness Champions at each location for the
amazing job they do by providing support to associates and encouraging healthy choices and wellness activities every day!
