Rainey Kizer Receives the West Tennessee Healthcare Health and Wellness Award

at Jackson Chamber’s Annual Celebration

Firm Recognized for Corporate Wellness Program

 

Jackson, TN – Rainey, Kizer, Reviere & Bell PLC (Rainey Kizer) was honored by the Jackson (TN) Chamber as the recipient of the West Tennessee Healthcare Health and Wellness Award during the Chamber’s Annual Celebration at Union University’s Carl Grant Events Center on March 6, 2013.  The event spotlighted Jackson businesses that have made an extra effort to achieve excellence through high standards, professional accomplishments and community contributions.

The Health and Wellness Award recognized the firm’s ongoing corporate wellness program, which includes an annual wellness fair, among other programs.

The wellness fair, available to all full-time and part-time employees, offers diagnostic tests such as lipid profiles, blood pressure, and vision tests at no cost.  Employees are also invited to complete a health questionnaire and surveys such as Heart Aware in order to assess their current health status.

Each spring, employees are invited to team up for participation in a wellness competition that encourages healthy habits including exercise, healthful diets, and spiritual wellness.  Participants are eligible for individual and team awards based on participation and results.  During this competition, the firm holds luncheons, open to all employees, at which health-related topics are discussed.

The firm’s wellness program includes offering low cost, healthful snacks and bottled water in the firm’s break rooms, maintaining non-smoking offices, and offering employees training in CPR and the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), with on-site AEDs.

Rainey Kizer also has an informal group of employees who are active runners, including marathon competitors.  Three of these employees are members of the Jackson Roadrunners, a non-profit club which seeks to encourage and develop the sport of running in West Tennessee, and a Rainey Kizer attorney serves as a volunteer assistant cross-country coach at a local university.
