Well-Being Activities

SFHSS wants employees to feel, be and live better every day. As an organization, we are committed to creating an environment that supports well-being for all employees, retirees, and their family members.

In an effort to make well-being resources more accessible, SFHSS has identified a suite of FREE well-being activities that can be brought to you weather virtual or at the workplace.

Well-Being activities are available in a virtual and in-person format (in-person activites are limited, please see the Activities Description List for more details).
