NACDD's Engaging Small Businesses via Evidence-Based Health Promotion: Story of Connect to Wellness May 12
Connect to Wellness is a free, evidence-based workplace wellness intervention developed to increase adoption of health promotion practices in small and mid-sized workplaces via their health department. Adapted from the CDC Community Guide to Preventive Resources, these practices include healthy eating, physical activity, tobacco cessation, cancer screening, stress reduction, and vaccination education. You will hear from health department staff who, currently and in the past, received training and support to deliver Connect to Wellness and successfully built bridges with small and mid-sized worksites in their communities and assisted them in implementing these worksite wellness practices.
The Connect to Wellness team, Dr. Peggy Hannon, Kristen Hammerback, and Michelle Strait, will discuss the development and effectiveness of Connect to Wellness, and will show how this program helps health department staff to develop workplace health promotion skills and partnerships with local businesses.

CDC's Adjusting Program Delivery During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Webinar May 23
As our National DPP team continues to provide resources to lifestyle change programs to enhance the delivery of the National DPP, we are happy to announce that on May 23rd from 12:30 – 1:45 PM EST, we will host a webinar highlighting how CDC-recognized organizations adapted to the COVID-19 public health emergency and adjusted program delivery to enroll and retain participants in the National DPP lifestyle change program.
The “Adjusting Program Delivery During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency” webinar will introduce the CDC’s key effort to scale the National DPP among populations of focus in areas that are underserved, discuss the partners in that effort, and provide an overview of the evaluation framework for the project. In collaboration with key partners, we will present a case study conducted in 2021, Adjusting Program Delivery During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency to Enroll and Retain Populations of Focus in the National DPP Lifestyle Change Program, which explored approaches from organizations that switched to virtual program delivery during the COVID-19 public health emergency. This shift presented unique challenges and opportunities to find creative ways to deliver the program while meeting participants’ unique needs.
