Health-themed days to celebrate wellness

Choose a handful of national holidays to showcase your wellness efforts and reinforce healthy habits

Every day is a good day to make healthy choices like eating fruits and veggies, limiting screen time, getting active for at least an hour, and drinking more water. But national observances provide opportunities to celebrate our progress and amp up awareness efforts.

You can tuck wellness messages into existing communication tools – newsletters, emails, break room or hallway signage, and social media to name a few. Get our guide, 5 Ways to Promote Healthy Habits to Employees and Families, to learn how.

Identify the special days, weeks, and months that are likely to have most meaning to your employees, students, and families, and seize the opportunity to promote healthy habits.
