Safety, Health & Wellness Day Set

NIH Safety, Health and Wellness Day will be held Wednesday, June 22, rain or shine, at the Clinical Center south complex from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come learn about safety, health and wellness opportunities at NIH.

The Office of Research Services, Office of Research Facilities, NIH occupational safety and health committee, laboratory sustainability group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are combining efforts to increase workplace health awareness and promotion.

Each year, the event gets bigger. This year’s version will include activities such as health screenings, IC exhibits, heart-saver CPR training demonstrations, a farmer’s market, physical fitness activities, adult dependent and elder-care information, nutrition demonstrations and tastings and much more.

More than 50 exhibitors will showcase nutrition, fitness and occupational health and wellness information and activities. Plan to have lunch and choose from specialty food trucks that will serve a variety of cuisines for purchase.
