Through the partnership, government employees will have access to incentives and wellness programs, such as group sessions and weight-loss programs.
All employees interested in participating need to complete a voluntary application and sign a commitment to the program’s expectations. CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center experts have selected 20 employees for the program based on the center’s criteria and participants’ level of readiness.
Employees will participate in the State of Slim program for 16 weeks.
“We are thrilled to partner with the State of Colorado in its organizational wellness journey as it offers the State of Slim program to its employees,” said Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director of Anschutz Health. “It truly demonstrates the State’s commitment to walking the talk and the importance of a healthy workplace.”
