Total Health Wellness

Shelby County Government is dedicated to the health and well-being of its employees. The Total Health Wellness program was established in 2013 based on a high population of chronic conditions and poor health according to the County’s insurance provider data. The program was designed to better serve our workforce and encourage a healthier community. Total Health Wellness is a program dedicated to empowering, encouraging, and inspiring healthier life decisions among Shelby County Government Employees. Our goal is to help employees make informed choices concerning their health by providing educational tools and strategies. We strive to promote all aspects of health including physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Total Health Wellness is committed to providing a healthy work environment and promoting a healthier way of life.

Through the Total Health Wellness program we offer a wide range of health and wellness programs free for employees. Such programs include monthly health education seminars, tobacco cessation programs, on-site fitness centers, bike share programs, health fairs, on-site wellness screenings, on-site blood pressure, and glucose checks, on-site group fitness classes, discounted gym memberships, on-site mobile mammography checks, opioid usage programs, mental health education, webinars, chronic disease management programs, injury and prevention classes, diabetes prevention and management, and colon cancer awareness programs.
