The Program

The LMP’s Workplace and Community Health Program (WCHP) brings together labor and management in partnership to advance population health, workplace wellness and community well-being. We help healthcare workers change their behaviors and lifestyles, and promote work environments that prioritize total worker health. Our approach includes evidence-based assessments, priority-setting, program design, implementation support and evaluation for hospitals, nursing homes and other organizations.
