Many health promotion and benefits professionals like to hold well-being activities based on the dates of National Health Observances. The publicity generated by the organizations that sponsor these health events can increase employee participation and engagement. To that end, for the past 35 years, the American Institute for Preventive Medicine has developed an annual Well-Being Activity Planner. Each month the planner lists health events, along with previews of future events to help professionals plan their company’s well-being program. The planner also provides no cost and low cost resources and recommendations on how to enhance your well-being program. To receive your copy of the planner, please go to the 2019 Wellness Activity Planner or contact the American Institute for Preventive Medicine at aipm@healthylife.com.
