Join us for an engaging session on how healthy habits and nutrition directly impact workforce well-being, productivity, and overall performance. This discussion will explore practical strategies to support healthier choices, improve energy and focus, and strengthen team resilience. Whether you’re looking to boost your own health or foster a culture of wellness in the workplace, this session will provide valuable insights and actionable takeaways.

As part of the experience, participants will enjoy a hands-on activity creating their own charcuterie-style lunch box. This interactive workshop will demonstrate how simple, balanced food choices can be both delicious and convenient, while inspiring ideas for healthy meals and snacks at work and home.

November is National Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the country seek to bring attention to diabetes. This year’s focus is on taking action to prevent diabetes health problems. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It affects about 38 million Americans, including adults and youth. Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and it is linked to some types of cancer.
But there’s also good news: Taking charge of your health may help you prevent diabetes health problems - programs such as this are a great start.
