This toolbox is a manual to guide you through the implentation of wellness programs in your community. We encourage you to take advantage of the resources included here as you strive to improve the health of your residents. the toolbox is provided in a ring binder so that you can extract sections and copy them for members of your staff and project teams as needed.
The Toolbox contains programs that can be directly used in your community. Each explanation features an overall description and detailed implementation steps to follow by contact and resource information.
The Supplemental Programs section includes initiatives that are either indevelopemnt, have more limited applications or are additional examples of available programs. Evaluations are not included for these programs. However, these programs may provide additional ideas for you to consider in building your wellness program. If you desire further information about them please contact our staff at info@njhcqi.org.
The Evaluation Section is an extremely important component of the Toolbox. Establishing baseline measures before the program begins and conduction evaluations after the program is completed are vital to creating effectiv ewellness programs in your community. The Mayors Wellness Campaign urges you to conduct these evaluations which will help you shape future plans and justify their expense to the taxpayers. For assistance with this process or report finding, please feel free to email info@njhcqi.org or call (609) 393-4931.
