A Guide to Special Programs to Help Keep Your Staff Healthy

Tahoe Forest Hospital District has developed a comprehensive wellness program that has been specifically designed to meet health and wellness needs in the workplace. A healthy workplace delivers many benefits to both employers and employees; healthy employees are more efficient, energetic, alert, happier at work and better able to manage stress. Helping employees stay healthy can also help keep overall company health care costs down.

We invite you to participate in Tahoe Forest Hospital 's Wellness at Work program. This program is not intended to replace an individual's annual physical exam with their primary care physician, but as an additional wellness benefit to complement routine preventive screenings.
