Terrebonne General Health System has been designated a Level 2 WellSpot by the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH). WellSpots are spaces and places in Louisiana that voluntarily implement healthy changes in their environment to help their employees and community live well.
LDH designates organizations as WellSpots after they voluntarily meet wellness benchmarks that correspond to their organization type. Terrebonne General is recognized as a healthcare facility and meets many of the criteria for the designation, which include being a tobacco-free campus, making it easy for women to breastfeed, offering healthy vending machine options, and offering a worksite wellness program.
Terrebonne General Health System joins more than 3,000 other WellSpots throughout the state, who together are helping to combat the prevalence of obesity, tobacco use, and other chronic diseases.
Becoming a WellSpot is a simple five-step process, and Well-Ahead provides support and technical assistance throughout.
