Employee Wellness
Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce the official launch of Lakemary Employee Wellness! We exist to support you on your journey to a healthier life. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are committed to fostering a culture and environment where all aspects of your health can thrive. Thank you to everyone who completed the wellness survey. Your feedback has been very influential in the development of the wellness program.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with the available resources including discounted gym memberships, mental health therapy, and health coaching. As the program develops, more resources will become available! Keep an eye on the monthly newsletter for updates.

EQ2 SUPPORT
Employee Wellness is partnering with the Lionheart Foundation to provide an “interactive training and support program for direct care staff working with youth at risk.” EQ2 is currently available to all Lakemary employees through the app, which guides its users through interactive techniques for social and emotional regulation. As the program develops, support groups will become available.

health coaching
Employee Wellness is providing free health coaching services to all Lakemary employees. A health coach helps to maximize personal potential, development, and achievement of health-related goals. Health coaching is a standalone resource and is no longer a requirement to receive a discounted gym membership.

care tickets
Wellness constitutes a broad range of needs that are sometimes difficult to assist through a conventional wellness program. We hope that Care Tickets can help to fill this gap. When faced with significant personal life events, we want to be there to offer and facilitate support. If you or someone you work with is experiencing a life change, let us know by submitting a ticket! We will assess the need and plan ways to support the individual. Examples of events we might support include weddings, funerals, births, major illnesses and natural disaster/loss. Submit a ticket to [email protected].
For additional questions, contact Grace Davis at [email protected].
GARMIN DISCOUNTS
Lakemary Employee Wellness has partnered with GARMIN to offer Lakemary employees a 20% discount on select GARMIN products. See below for more information, exclusions apply.
