Los Angeles, CA, June 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC), www.HASC.org, has partnered with the Corporate Health and Wellness Association (CHWA), www.WellnessAssociation.com to provide an educational platform surrounding employee health and wellness within hospitals and healthcare providers in the region. One of the key reasons for hospitals to improve their health and wellness programs as mentioned by the AHA’s January, 2011 Call to Action, “is to provide an example of health to the community.” Top challenges hospitals have faced when attempting to implement effective health and wellness programs include motivating employees over time, managing financial restraints or limitations, measuring program effectiveness and ROI and creating a culture of health.
