Employee Health in Southeastern Pennsylvania

In recognition of Employee Health and Fitness Month, this month’s article focuses on the health of Southeastern Pennsylvania’s workforce. One objective of the Healthy People 2020 initiative aims to improve employee wellness by “[increasing] the proportion of worksites that offer nutrition or weight management classes or counseling”. Although employee health and fitness largely focuses on diet, weight status, and personal health behaviors, this article also looks at differences between employment groups, particularly part-time and full-time workers. Differences between these groups related to the utilization of health care and cost barriers are also addressed.
