The Governor’s Awards for Wellness Innovation

 

Governor’s Wellness Initiative

The Governor’s Wellness Initiative spans public sector and private sector efforts to promote healthy lifestyles for all Rhode Islanders.  The Initiative focuses on the importance of good nutrition, adequate exercise, and seat belt use, and discourages smoking and overweight and obesity.

Having already met the goal of Rhode Island being recognized by the Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA) as the first “Well State” in the nation, this Initiative’s goal is: By 2010, we will cut in half the number of Rhode Islanders with unhealthy and unsafe habits.
