Prioritizing Health at the Bishop Wellness Fair
The annual Bishop Wellness Fair, hosted by LADWP’s Wellness Program in the Employee Health and Benefits Division, took place on September 21 in Bishop, Ca. Employees and retirees received complimentary giveaways and had the chance to participate in a raffle, offering enticing prizes like an electric pressure washer!
UnitedHealthcare, Healthy Adventures Foundations and LADWP Benefits Specialist Norma Juarez were on-hand to provide valuable information about various aspects of wellness. This included information about health benefits provided by the Department, retirement health benefits and general health and wellness information. Attendees also received free health screenings, which were made possible through the generous support of UnitedHealthcare and Healthy Adventures Foundation. These screenings allowed individuals to assess their body’s overall health and screen for diabetes.
LADWP’s Wellness Program promotes health and well-being for employees year-round. We encourage you to remain on the lookout for updates about upcoming wellness activities, workshops and resources. For further information or inquiries, please contact Wellness@ladwp.com.
