AWARD RECIEPIENTS
Small Company Business Health Award for 2011 (1 – 150 employees)
The recipient in the Small Company category did a great job of meeting the requirements set in the application.
Here are just a few of the key elements that made them shine. This company lists as one of its core values
supporting a healthy workforce and workplace. It takes wellness seriously by having a Wellness Ambassador
and a 32‐member Wellness Council at their Frederick location. This group works to provide a variety of health
related programs to staff and families including webinars on nutrition and healthy parenting. The company
partners with a wellness vendor, Live Healthier, which provides resources and tools to help maintain and or
improve health and wellness. These services include: confidential health coaching with a health expert and
innovative wellness programs like “...On the Move... For Good” which is an eight week program aimed at
encouraging employees and families to increase physical activity.

Medium Company Business Health Awards for 2011 (151‐500 employees)
With a great response, we added an additional award to this category.
The first recipient in the Medium Company category did a great job of meeting the requirements set in the
application. This company assembled a cross functional team of employees from all areas of the company to
establish a 5 year Wellness Strategic Plan. The strategic plan focuses on 7 dimensions of wellness to include
physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, and occupational well being. The program
ranges from walking, running, and cycling, to Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation. The winner has branded their
wellness program a “Healthy U.”

The second recipient in the Medium Company category did a great job of meeting the requirements set in the
application. Here are a few reasons why this company stood out from the crowd. In addition to asking
employees to participate in annual health screenings, and offering reduced premiums for wellness plan
participants, the winner now has an on‐site nurse practitioner. With their production operations working
around the clock, it is difficult to make an appointment and take the time to see your family doctor when you
are just getting off work at 6 a.m. The clinic is currently open two days a week, but is looking to expand
availability and provides emergency response, treats illnesses, offers preventive care and disease management.
Also, their current weight loss group is working with the clinic to help provide one on one counseling in their
weight loss challenge.

Large Company Business Health Award for 2011 (501 + employees)
The winner in the Large Company category did a stellar job of meeting and exceeding the requirements set in
the application. Here are a few examples that made this company stand out from the crowd. This Frederick
County winner has been recognized for their wellness initiatives by the American Heart Association winning the
Start! Fit‐Friendly Gold Award, and the 2010 Apex award for innovative employee wellness programs. A key to
their success was recruiting Wellness Champions at every worksite. They are responsible for promoting wellness
programs along with educating and motivating staff through internal wellness competitions at their numerous
Frederick County locations. This company provides employees with access to a Nurseline, a Healthy Pregnancy
Program, and online health coaching. The company also offers employees work life services such as financial,
