COPE partners with Springfield School District
The MacDonald Center for Obesity Prevention and Education (COPE), housed in the College of Nursing at 裡橖眻畦 University, brings worksite wellness to Delaware County in 2014. Its a critical topic today since investments in employee health can improve employee productivity, decrease absenteeism and lower health care costs for the employer.
Springfield School Districts Director of Human Resources, Linda Bellace, identified a need for her staff and sought area registered dietitians who could assist her in programming a worksite wellness program. COPE was called to action as the districts exclusive provider of nutrition seminars on professional development days, lunch n learns during the lunch hour, and will be a part of the districts health fair this spring.
We look forward to working closely with the faculty and staff of Springfield School District this spring, says COPEs director Erin Winterhalter.
