Organizations that meet certain wellness benchmarks are designated as a Level 1, 2 or 3 WellSpot—with Level 1 as the highest! These benchmarks are tailored to type organization type—worksite, child care center, school, college or university, restaurant, hospital, healthcare facility or faith-based organization.
By becoming a WellSpot, you’re joining leaders throughout the state who are putting the health and wellness of Louisiana residents first. You’re showing your employees, students, patients, guests and more that they can live well by making small, healthy choices.
