The city of Dahlonega recently received contributive funding for future health and wellness initiatives.
Dahlonega announced on Dec. 23 that the city was one of the awardees of the 2024 Health Wellness Grants by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA).
The grant goes to support Dahlonega’s “commitment to facilitating positive change in the workplace culture” and for its specific focus on the health and wellness of its employees, according to city officials.
“GMA is honored to collaborate with the city of Dahlonega at every step of the health wellness journey,” a release from the city states. “Awards are made statewide to participating employers enrolled in one or more medical plans through the GMEBS (Georgia Municipal Employees Benefits Services) Life and Health Insurance Fund.”
The Health Wellness Program at GMA is designed to support its members to “embrace a variety of skills, mindsets and cultures” and to “encourage utmost wellbeing through workplace health wellness initiatives,” officials said Monday.
The initiatives are said to have a “demonstrated track record” of boosting employee wellbeing and quality of life and to “enhance workplace morale,” reducing medical claims and maximizing cost impact.
