Event Offers Networking, Education Opportunities
PHILADELPHIA, PA–( EMWNews – April 1, 2008) – GlobalFit, the nation’s leading provider
of healthy living benefits, extends its support of corporate fitness with
its second worksite wellness summit. The event, to be held this May in
Philadelphia, brings health and fitness experts together with wellness
professionals for a full day of information, networking and, of course,
exercise.
“GlobalFit now goes beyond simply offering affordable access to fitness
clubs and nutrition programs,” said Frank Napolitano, the company’s
President and CEO. “We’re developing GlobalFit into a comprehensive
resource. With the Summit, we’re helping our sponsors build a corporate
culture that supports employee health throughout their workday.”
To build upon the success of the inaugural 2007 Summit, GlobalFit has
gathered an impressive roster of speakers. The Summit will feature Mark
Blondman of Blank Rome LLP; Dr. L. Casey Chosewood of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Dr. Gary Foster from Temple
University; Sandra Perlmutter, former Executive Director of the President’s
Council on Physical Fitness and Sports; and fitness expert Kathy Smith.
Presentations include “Recipe for a Healthier Workplace,” in which Smith
returns to the Summit with practical tips for supporting a healthy
lifestyle at work. She’ll even lead attendees through a series of simple
exercises that can be done daily at their desks. Dr. Chosewood will share
best practices in worksite wellness, drawing on his experience implementing
such programs for CDC employees.
The Summit will conclude with a networking reception in which professionals
from some of the nation’s largest corporations can discuss their current
efforts in worksite wellness and share ideas and resources with colleagues.
“The GlobalFit Worksite Wellness Summit is a forum in which the nation’s
TOP employers can come together and discuss current practices and future
trends,” adds Napolitano. “The ultimate goal is to encourage Americans to
live healthier lives.”
Officially titled The GlobalFit Worksite Wellness Summit: The Foundation
for a Healthier Workforce, the event will take place on Friday, May 9, 2008
at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. This program has been approved for 4.75
