Presented by First Piedmont Corporation, applicants can nominate themselves, another individual, organization, group or institution for awards in the following categories.
- Program: A wellness program is an effective method to promote health and well-being among staff, congregation, and community members. Programs encourage awareness of health-related issues, improve morale, and often reduces the cost of healthcare.
- Policy: A wellness principle, rule, or guideline formulated and adopted by an organization, church or community group to assist members in maintaining or achieving wellness goals. Policies are designed to influence staff, guide decisions and actions.
