Alameda County Worksite Wellness Policy
On November 26, 2019 the Alameda County Board of Supervisors adopted the "Worksite Wellness Policy", an update of the Board-approved "Alameda County Nutrition and Physical Activity Policy and Guidelines" of 2009. This policy encourages County practices and policies that promote healthy options for employees, visitors to County facilities, and participants in County meetings and events, as well as promotion of opportunities and incentives to stay physically active and participate in wellness activities.
