Sheboygan Well County 2020
The Sheboygan County Activity and Nutrition Coalition, (SCAN) Committee, has partnered with the Wellness Council of Wisconsin to engage and challenge local businesses to improve the health & well-being of the workforce in Sheboygan County. The coalition has established a goal to achieve a ‘Sheboygan Well County’ designation from the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) by 2020.
According to the Wellness Council of Wisconsin; “WELCOA developed a unique and important worksite health promotion initiative in 1991. Sponsored locally by the Wellness Council of Wisconsin, Well City USA challenges local businesses and community leaders to work together and engage entire communities in improving the health and well being of their workforces.
Well City USA status is achieved when a minimum of 20 organizations that collectively employ at least 20% of a community’s workforce become designated Well Workplaces within a three-year period. Each employer must complete WELCOA’s Well Workplace Award application to document their progress in developing their worksite wellness initiatives. There are three award levels:
» Bronze: minimum of 20 employers, at least 20% of community's workforce
» Silver: minimum of 20 employers, at least 30% of community's workforce
» Gold: minimum of 20 employers, at least 50% of community's workforce
In August of 2016 the Sheboygan Well County project was submitted to the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA). The Wellness Council accepted the application in September of 2016 (letter attached). The Sheboygan Well County Task force recruited 20 companies to the initiative and received a Bronze Level Well County designation in October of 2020. This is a five year designation.
Participating Companies: Advocate Aurora Healthcare, Bemis Mfg. Co., Faith Technologies, Inc, Holy Family Memorial, Johnsonville Sausage, LLC, Kohler Co., McClone Agency, Inc, Plymouth Foam LLC, Plymouth School District, Prairie States Enterprises LLC, Prevea Health, Sargento Foods, Inc., Sheboygan Area School District, Sheboygan County, Sheboygan Paint, Sheboygan YMCA, HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital, USI Insurance Services, Vollrath Company, Sartori
