Healthy Lifestyle Program for High stress hospital employees
Goal:• During a stressful day, many will not have time for a full
nutritious meal when working long hours as well as have the energy to go to the gym after a long 12 hour shift.
• My goal:• provide these workers with the nutrition they need and sending
them away from the vending machines• Provide exercise equipment to have available for employee use
Importance & Benefits• We put trust in our health care providers but just like anything
else, how can they be credible in their line of work when they themselves are unhealthy.
• High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease can both be silent killers and the stress these employees take on everyday is not healthy especially if they are not eating right and exercising.
Blood Pressure Cuffs• $15.99• Medical Supply

Tread mill • $499/each • Sears
Kickboxing bag• $52.42 • Walmart
Nutrition Education • Have education meetings on nutrition & exercise every 3
months• Importance• Common misconceptions • Portioning• Meal prepping

Conclusion:• This program is not strictly geared to helping individuals to
lose weight. • Our main focus is to providing our employees with the best
nutrition options, easy on the go, and that also taste good. • This job is very stressful and demanding - this program will
help lower and sustain their health, even if its not perfect, it will be better than their previous habits.
