MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH

MONTH

Every day, mothers risk their lives giving

birth, & millions of children die from treatable, preventable causes. Rotary

provides immunizations & antibiotics to babies, improves access to medical services, & empowers communities to take ownership

of healthcare training programs.

With Julia Wetstein and

Nick Verina both in

attendance attendance at our weekly

Club meeting, I hear

that the that the improvement in

our quality of singing was

remarkable!

And speaking of

remarkable. . . Chris

Shape returned from his

vacation in the sun with

an with another oldie but

story about goodie:

An elderly farmer in Florida had a large pond down by his fruit

orchard. One evening, he decided to go down to the pond and took a

five gallon bucket to pick some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard female voices shouting and

laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw a bunch of young women

skinny-dipping in the pond.

He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went to

the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming

out until you leave!”

The old man thought for a second and said, “I didn’t come down

here to watch you ladies swim or to make you get out of the pond

naked.”

Holding the bucket up, he said, “I’m here to feed the alligator!”

The moral of the story is: Old men can still think fast.

costs. Better You, Better Ohio! can:

Help prevent injuries through improved workforce health and

safety;

Reduce absenteeism and improve presenteeism;

Reduce the severity of an injury;

Improve the recovery time from an injury;

Reduce time away from work due to an injury.

How it helps Ohio's workforce:

Better You, Better Ohio! gives workers a wealth of resources to help

them take ownership of their health and well-being. They can proactively

pursue a healthier lifestyle through free:

Health and wellness awareness, education and training;

Health assessments and biometric screenings for better

understanding of their health and well-being;

A member engagement website that allows them to develop health

plans and track their progress to achieve their health goals;

Digital coaching to help them on their journey to better health.

Better health pays off:

Employers can use Better You, Better Ohio! to help manage and reduce

their workers' compensation and health-care costs by having a healthier

workforce. Meanwhile, workers can earn financial rewards for taking

steps to improve their health and wellness such as completing a health

assessment and a biometric screening.

Why is BWC offering a health and wellness program?

Ohio, like much of the nation, is facing major health challenges driven

primarily by obesity, aging and the rise in chronic diseases (i.e. diabetes

and cardiovascular diseases). As of 2017, Ohio's health ranking stood at

39th among the 50 states. These health challenges and outcomes are

mostly associated with lifestyle behaviors. Individuals can improve these

behaviors by using the resources and support services health and

wellness programs offer.
