Healthy for Life 2016
August first may not seem like the beginning of the year to most people, but that date is the beginning of the Crest Foods fiscal year. Along with that designation comes the kick off of our new Healthy for Life wellness program. Crest Foods will again be contributing toward the cost of gym memberships or exercise classes for all eligible em- ployees. Last year we found this to be something many employees took advantage of by using our own personal trainers at the Crest Foods Fitness Center; joining work out facilities like the YMCA or Anytime Fitness for exam- ple, or taking Zumba or Yoga classes. We encourage eligible employees to look into this option. We also encourage our employees to take advantage of the services offered through our nurses office right here at Crest Foods. Heidi McGlown, RN, has quickly fit right in and her services are much in demand. During the next few months, we will be exploring some additional options we can offer through the nurse’s office so watch for in formation on that. Remember, she can do your testing for glucose, A1C, cholesterol and monitor your blood pres- sure. If you need testing for your lipid profile for an upcoming doctor’s visit, set up a time to see Heidi. You can save yourself the cost of a lab visit by having your lipid profile done here free of charge. This option is also avail- able for your spouse. In addition the nurse can treat soft tissue injuries and discomfort; help you navigate through the medical system if in doubt where to start; help you monitor blood pressure; glucose or weight; provide first aide treatment and more. We find this service to be greatly appreciated by our employees. The nurse has an office both in the Main Plant and the West Facility. Her hours are posted in all buildings or she can be reached by calling extension 268. If you are interested in any of these Wellness options at Crest or have any questions, please contact Cheri Kemp.
