Opengate Wellness Program Supports Healthy Habits in 2024
Opengate is committed to supporting its team members. In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, room to grow, and the chance to make a difference, Opengate offers a Wellness Program to inspire healthy habits.
The program’s mission is to support all Opengate staff members, from leadership to direct support professionals, in making healthy choices while building a sense of teamwork. HR team members Miriam Loperfido and Aurelia Martinez lead the Program. Miriam says, “We want to show our team we care and that they’re important and valued. We try to create fun ways to build healthy habits and are always open to new ideas from staff.”
The 2024 program will include past favorites as well as new ideas, including the Hydration Challenge, Walking Challenge, Fit Challenge, and Recipe Challenge. Team members can expect raffles for items spanning AirPods, Fitbits, and deluxe water bottles. Last year, the Recipe Challenge led to the creation of a healthy recipe book shared with participants and the Opengate residential homes.
