Employee Wellness Frequently Asked Questions

The Wellness Committee is a group of employees that will represent individual department interests in the program, represent the work force, help to steer the program and award the Employee-of-the-Month.  All departments are represented.  If you are interested in serving on the committee, email employee.wellness@ketteringoh.org.
