It is our pleasure to present the winners of a "Spot Reward" contest in which administrators of employee health and wellness programs submitted stories of their most successful employees. Each winner received a $25 CVS/Pharmacy gift card.
The first winning submission came from Richard Miller-Murphy Chief of Strategy & Marketing at the New York Blood Center in New York, NY, featuring employee Dawn Jones.
"Dawn Jones is a coordinator as part of NY Blood Center’s Wellness Committee and just did an outstanding job (again) coordinating the almost 100 NY Blood Center employees who ran in the recent JP Morgan/CHASE Corporate Challenge. She was the person who helped arrange transportation from our many sites to Central Park, helped coordinate the cool tee-shirts that promoted BLOOD DONATION, and was there as information central on the day of the actual run working with our other support members Olga, Ronald, Maribel, Robert, Adria, and Deon. Way to go Dawn!"
The second winning submission came from Darla Mullner Director of Human Resources at the Rush Copley Medical Center un Aurora, Illinois, featuring two employees: Carol Byrd and Tammy Chapman.
"Rush-Copley Medical Center has had an Employee Wellness program for over 15 years. Currently, our program focuses on Virgin's Healthmiles where employees enroll, wear a pedometer, download the steps into a website, and earn rewards. We have about 40% of our 1,600 employees enrolled. This program is well received by our staff, and is coordinated by our Employee Health Nurses, Carol Byrd and Tammy Chapman. Points are also earned through completing wellness testing where free cholesterol, glucose levels are performed."
Congratulations to all of our winners!
