The Healthy Living Partnership Project is a three-year comprehensive worksite wellness initiative that has improved the health and well-being of employees in the Finger Lakes Region of rural Upstate New York.  Three key health indicators were targeted: nutrition, physical activity and smoking cessation. Employees who voluntarily joined the Project were requested to dedicate themselves to even the smallest behavioral or lifestyle change that would improve health status.  We also required employers to promote and support the Project by incorporating policy and environmental changes at the worksite and to offer incentives, where feasible.
