Employee Health and Fitness Day is Wednesday, May 19th, 2021!

Wednesday, May 19th is recognized as National Employee Health & Fitness Day. For many years, the Healthy Sheboygan County committee has challenged local businesses with a county wide challenge to encourage participation in physical activity on this day. As many businesses continue to face challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, health and wellness messaging is on the forefront of our community’s needs.

The Healthy Sheboygan County committee will again host a competition in 2021 continuing with current Public Health COVID-19 pandemic safety guidelines in place. The Sheboygan Well County Task Force has adapted and will provide businesses with an employee fitness challenge that is similar to years in the past. Please see below for additional information regarding the event and to register.
