Blue Zones Project® Dodge County held a ribbon cutting celebration at the Dodge County Administration Building to celebrate the newest worksite to become Blue Zones Project Approved™. As one of the largest employers, Dodge County government employees are leading by example in making healthier choices easier.
Jim Mielke, Dodge County Administrator commented, “The Health and Wellness Committee of Dodge County is really the foundation that started this project and many of the volunteers are here today. It’s important to note that they gave their time and energy and ideas to help all Dodge County employees. As a major employer in the region with over 900 employees, it’s important for the county government to always be viewed as someone who appreciates the volunteer effort and should always be the leader in the area. Being a Blue Zones worksite helps Dodge County keep our leadership role. It’s important when we attract new employees and in retaining all of our employees, to have a positive balance in life of a healthy life- and work-style and the Blue Zones Project captures that very well.”
