Governor's Wellness Initiative

An important component of our physical well-being, nutrition fuels our body throughout the day. Making healthy choices, and giving our body the nutrients it needs, allows us to perform and feel our best at work and at home. It’s not about being perfect; even small changes can lead to big results.

With the Governor’s Wellness Initiative, you’ll find the information and resources you need to develop healthy habits to reach your health and wellness goals.

Calling all cooks! Are you the best baker in your office? Do you have the healthiest recipes around? Sanford Health Plan wants to hear from you.
