Health Calendar
- Resources to Keep Us Healthy
by Sandra Larkin

When I entered the corporate world over 20 years ago, the last thing on my agenda was to design my own personal wellness plan.  I did that for the sake of my health and relaxation.  Today, corporate wellness has become an initiative which is run by a wellness committee putting our health at the top of the agenda.   

Even though our organizations may have the makings of a wellness program or one that is full blown, it’s still up to us to add our own creativity to personalize the program.  You can never have too many resources to educate yourself on the latest findings, trends or facts.  The most important one is prevention.

Here are few resources that you may want to keep handy.  They work well as part of your wellness advisory team which includes your physician’s recommendations and guidance.

·        American Heart Association - www.americanheart.org

·        American Lung Associate – www.americanlung.org 

·        American Academy of Dermatology – www.aad.org

·        National Sleep Foundation – www.sleepfoundation.org

To find more information, check out my website http://sandralarkin.com/HealthCalendar.htm for a complete 2008 health calendar by day by month.  There are links to various health websites for information and prevention. 

Corporate Wellness Tip:  You can design personal wellness events based upon the calendar days these organizations are celebrating.  Start with a small group or recommend these events to your corporate wellness committee. This can be fun, exciting and filled with creativity.

Be healthy and fabulous!
