COPE partners with Springfield School District

The MacDonald Center for Obesity Prevention and Education (COPE), housed in the College of Nursing at °®°®Ö±²„, brings worksite wellness to Delaware County in 2014. Itā€™s a critical topic today since investments in employee health can improve employee productivity, decrease absenteeism and lower health care costs for the employer.

Springfield School Districtā€™s Director of Human Resources, Linda Bellace, identified a need for her staff and sought area registered dietitians who could assist her in programming a worksite wellness program. COPE was called to action as the districtā€™s exclusive provider of nutrition seminars on professional development days, lunch nā€™ learns during the lunch hour, and will be a part of the districtā€™s health fair this spring.

ā€œWe look forward to working closely with the faculty and staff of Springfield School District this spring,ā€ says COPEā€™s director Erin Winterhalter.
