The American Diabetes Association of Oregon, SW Washington and Southern Idaho have been hard at work expanding our resources for people in our community living with diabetes and prediabetes. This month, we’re featuring Wellness Lives Here, an initiative designed to inspire and fuel our nation's healthful habits at work and beyond.
The American Diabetes Association Wellness Lives Here resources helps companies, organizations and communities educate and motivate people to adopt healthful habits to reduce the impact of type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related illnesses. For some, it means fewer sick days and higher productivity. For others, it means looking and feeling better. For everyone, the result is empowerment—Americans who are better able to control, delay or Stop Diabetes and related health problems.
Companies participate in our three mission engagement days during the year: National Get Fit Don’t Sit Day; National Healthy Lunch Day and American Diabetes Alert Day. We also provide other resources design to help employees take ownership of their own health, including recipes for healthy living, our Living with Type 2 Diabetes Program, and many others.
