WARREN, Mich. — The National Association for Business Resources has named Decatur County Memorial Hospital as one of the Nation’s Best and Brightest in Wellness®. This program honors companies and organizations that recognize and celebrate quality and excellence in employee and worksite health.

The 2017 winning companies were evaluated by an assessment, created and administered by SynBella, the nation’s leading wellness systems firm. Company entries are examined statistically for quantitative data and examined on a point system based on criteria to benchmark and improve wellness program effectiveness. They include outcomes, analysis and tracking, participation and incentives, benefits and programs, leadership, employee input, culture and environment.

DCMH, along with the other companies that have been selected to be recognized nationally as the Best and Brightest in Wellness®, will be featured in the Feb. 8, 2018, online edition of Corp! Magazine. The winning companies will also receive additional recognition and resources as a national winner.

This year a new category for the Best and Brightest in Wellness Program: the Elite Awards for Best of the Best Provider and Best of the Best Employer, was launched. This year’s elite Best of the Best Wellness Provider is Orriant, and the elite Best of the Best Employer in Wellness is Excela Health.

The Best and Brightest in Wellness® celebrates those companies that are making their businesses more healthy, the lives of their employees better and the community a healthier to place to live. The Best and Brightest program provides yearlong education, benchmarking, assessment tools and interaction amongst the best employers. Congratulations to Decatur County Memorial Hospital for receiving this wellness award!
