Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Awards Announced Today

The Oklahoma State Department of Health will join the Oklahoma Academy, The State Chamber, and the Oklahoma Turning Point Council in announcing 228 Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Award winners at an awards luncheon today at the Quail Creek Country Club in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Program recognizes Oklahoma businesses that provide health and wellness opportunities and are working to improve the health status of Oklahomans. To be certified, businesses must meet specific criteria, including providing employee health screenings, workplace health and nutrition education, opportunities for physical exercise activities, management support for healthy workplace environments, tobacco use prevention activities, and sharing wellness activities within their respective communities. There are 55 winners selected to receive Certificates of Excellence, 59 Certificates of Merit, and 114 Certificate Awards to be recognized during the ceremony.

The Oklahoma Certified Business Program recognizes three award categories. They are: Certificates of Excellence, Certificates of Merit and Certificate Awards. Those categories are then broken down into groups by size as follows: small workplaces of 1-25 employees, medium workplaces of 26-100 employees, large workplaces of 101- 999 employees, and corporate workplaces of 1,000 or more employees. Employer types are grouped as education, restaurants, not-for-profit, and for-profit. 

To learn more about the Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business program and to apply for certification, visit the Oklahoma Turning Point Council Web site at www.okturningpoint.org.
