“Help for Your Health” is BJC's employee wellness program. We encourage employees to live healthier lives through local health fairs, smoking cessation, weight management, exercise programs and various campaigns to promote breast, colon and prostate health. We care about our employees and want to serve as an example to our patients and our community. You may find this website a source of inspiration for a Health Literacy Program at your place of employment. Employers can see here the depth and variety of health programming BJC HealthCare offers its employees. For additional information, contact a member of the BJC Health Literacy Committee.
