Colorado as the Nation's Healthiest State: A Snapshot of Worksite Wellness Initiatives

LiveWell Colorado (LWC) is a non-profit organization committed to reducing obesity in Colorado by promoting healthy eating and active living.  Going beyond educating and inspiring people to make healthy choices, LWC focuses on policy, environmental and lifestyle changes that remove barriers and increase access to healthy behaviors.  Working in partnership with obesity prevention initiatives across the state, LWC aims to provide all Coloradans with access to healthy foods and opportunity for physical activity in places where they live, work, learn and play.  As part of their mission LWC developed a Statewide Worksite Wellness Blueprint in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Two major outcomes of the Blueprint include the development and promotion of a Colorado Worksite Wellness Framework and secondly the development of a Colorado Worksite Wellness Leadership Group.
