The BetterHealth program provides a yearly calendar of events.
BetterHealth Program
The BetterHealth program for city employees and their families provides a pathway to pursue a healthy lifestyle. The program includes health education, wellness interventions, and campaigns to make healthy lifestyles easier at work.
The 5 Year Strategic Plan for the BetterHealth worksite wellness program is a focus tool to effectively and collaboratively address the program's priorities to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and reduce tobacco use. Science based strategies will be used to reach employees and their families. The health office culture that emerges over five years will demonstrate that the City of Albuquerque and 17 government entities truly value health. The program continues to evolve to meet the wellness goals of City, participating entity employees and their families and a NEW Strategic Plan has been developed for the next five years. See the full published document at the link below.
BetterHealth Ambassadors are wellness champions and advocates for healthy living, no matter where they are in their personal health journeys. Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the City of Albuquerque BetterHealth Program and employees at their work locations, promoting health and wellness among coworkers and engaging them in wellness initiatives.
