It is truly an honor to announce that HQ AMC has been recognized as a Fit-Friendly Worksite. For those of you not familiar with the Fit-Friendly Worksites Recognition program, it is a level of acknowledgment on behalf of the American Heart Association's My Heart. My Life. initiative. It is intended to be a catalyst for positive change in the workplace across America and right here in AMC. It recognizes worksites for making the health and wellness of their employees a priority. Our worksite has received the Platinum Award, the American Heart Association's pinnacle of corporate wellness.
As a Platinum-Level Worksite, we have demonstrated that:
* We offer our employees physical activity support at the worksite.
* We have increased the number of healthy eating options available at the worksite.
* We promote a wellness culture.
We embrace at least nine criteria as outlined by the American Heart Association in the areas of physical activity, nutrition and culture.
In addition, we demonstrated specific, quantifiable and measureable outcomes related to workplace wellness.
As a Platinum Fit-Friendly Worksite, we are corporate trailblazers who have adopted the spirit of wellness and have the vision to improve the health and wellness of employees and the worksite.
I encourage all of you to take advantage of the AMC Wellness and Ready & Resilient Campaign (R2C) initiatives such as: the upcoming R2C Challenge, the Civilian Fitness Program, weekly Fitness Classes, Lunch & Learns, the New Global Assessment Tool, and ArmyFIT (https://armyfit.army.mil) as well as the Resilience & Suicide Prevention classes -just to name a few.
