ICANSANDIEGO

A Focus on Workplace Wellness

Living a healthier lifestyle is something most of us are thinking about this year.  Just by making small changes like eating more fruits and vegetables each day and committing to regular exercise can put us on a healthier path. In our commitment to creating a healthier workplace, The Chamber is proud to announce we have joined the ICASANDIEGO campaign. 

ICANSANDIEGO is aimed at empowering people to make effective lifestyle changes that can help prevent diabetes. You may be surprised to learn that an estimated one in 14 San Diegans has diabetes – but roughly 25 percent of them don’t know it. And it’s all largely preventable. Research shows that people at high risk for developing diabetes can prevent or delay the disease by losing weight, increasing physical activity and improving their diets.

We encourage Chamber members to visit www.ICANSANDIEGO.org to sign up for the campaign, it’s free! Businesses that enroll receive a work wellness packet, which includes helpful ways to make small changes in the office.  The program can help employees eat healthier and be more active during the day, often reducing employee stress, increasing productivity and employee health.  Join ICANSANDIEGO today, and let’s work together to create a healthier workplace.

Created by the San Diego Diabetes Coalition, a program of Community Health Improvement Partners, in partnership with more than 50 organizations including the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative, the campaign is funded in part by the County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency.
