months in reading and math skills during summer months, as they spend more time
lounging and less time learning.

Representatives from Duncan Regional Hospital Receiving the WorkHealthy Hospitals Excellence Award
The Oklahoma Hospital
Association recognized several WorkHealthy Hospitals in Oklahoma. The
WorkHealthy initiative, funded in part by TSET, helps hospital leadership identify
and implement system improvements to policies, environment, benefits and
overall culture to support employees in improving their health.
This year, three hospitals were recognized for reaching Gold
Apple status for the first time. These Gold Apple hospitals were Mercy Hospital
Watonga, Arbuckle Memorial Hospital and Duncan Regional Hospital.
Reaching the Gold standard is the highest achievement and
worksite wellness components include improved nutrition/food environment,
increased physical activity and a tobacco free policy.
In its third year, the WorkHealthy Hospitals initiative has
worked with more than 40 hospitals statewide and is impacting nearly 20,000
employees.
