Wellness Committee - Oct 30, 2026
The chairman wants to go beyond fitness challenges — leadership development, a county bowling team, and using the new wellness app for department-level and countywide incentives in the 2027 budget.
Budget Board - Aug 24, 2026
The county's wellness challenge pays employees $250 for earning 120 activity points, with blood draws starting September 1 at $75 under the county's urgent care contract. About 55 employees have signed up so far.
Employee Benefits Committee - Aug 6, 2026
The app for tracking employee wellness activities won't be ready by the August 15 start, so the county will fall back on spreadsheets and paper declarations with an honor system. Because it's ARPA money, the tracking period shrank from 90 to 60 days, and employees who complete it get $250.
Board of County Commissioners - Jul 6, 2026
Roughly $150,000 in ARPA funds were obligated for youth wellness, car seats, employee wellness, farmers market programming, hygiene kits and outreach through The Well and Cleveland County Health Department.
Board of County Commissioners - Apr 6, 2026
The board was to discuss, amend, or approve the county's ARPA-funded Employee Wellness Program, redirecting money originally set aside for program administration toward direct health benefits for county employees.
