LINGAYEN—Employees of the provincial government are making full use of the newly opened Employees Health and Wellness Center located at the second floor of the Alley Building, Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center here.

“We are happy that the employees patronize health and wellness,” said Janette Asis, head of the Human Resources Management and Development Office (HRMDO).

Asis said the provincial government also takes pride in having been the first local government in the country to undertake such an initiative, which is funded from the P2 million Health and Wellness Program health program for its workers.

“Actually ang mandatory lang po talaga ay may isang araw na may physical fitness ang mga empleyado, ginawa po natin ‘yon pero patuloy po ang improvement at nalampasan po natin ‘yong requirements. Nagbigay po tayo ng madaming benefits to maintain the health and wellness of our employees,” she added.

The fund also covers employees’ monthly medical check-up and annual executive check-up, and the employee wellness anniversary celebration every February.

The center, which will later be opened for public use with a minimal fee, operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays to Thursdays and from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays to Sundays under the management of the HRMDO in cooperation with the Provincial Health Office (PHO).–Johanne M. Reyes
