Saint Francis University selected as one of the 2011 Healthiest Employers in Western PA
Saint Francis University has been selected as one of the Pittsburgh Business Times’ 2011 Healthiest Employers in Western Pennsylvania. Saint Francis University was one of 16 companies chosen from a field of over 60 applicants for the Healthiest Employers Award. Saint Francis offers numerous health programs and resources that positively affect the health of 641 full and part-time employees. The programs are unique because they focus not only on physical wellness, but also on spiritual, emotional, environmental, social, and intellectual wellness.
Examples of programs include weight management, smoking cessation, stress management, and more. Saint Francis recognizes the national health observances for each month and offers group exercise classes and a state of the art fitness center at the new DiSepio Institute for Rural Health and Wellness on campus for employees to utilize.
An awards luncheon will be held on June 16 to honor the organizations selected. The Pittsburgh Business Times will showcase Saint Francis University’s wellness programs in a special publication after the June 16 luncheon.
