Mission Statement
The Wellness Council of Sheridan County is a group of individuals working together to make Wellness the lifestyle of choice in the greater Sheridan Area.
Purpose Statement
The Sheridan Wellness Council’s primary focus is to increase public awareness of health and intervention resources available in the Sheridan Area.
Wellness = productivity
It enables us all to excel individually by combing talents and resources in our home, workplaces, and community.
Vision
Historically, the Wellness Council emerged from a determined effort of area leaders and businesses in 1987 who wanted to bring wellness to the forefront of Sheridan County. It began as a business based membership organization for employers who wanted to control costs and enhance productivity through worksite health promotion programs.
As the 21st century approached, this vision was expanded to being responsive to the community as a whole. We looked at what caused injury, disability, and death, listened to grieving families and friends, and took steps to change what could be changed. As we go forward, we embrace the foundation that was laid and look ahead to find more innovative, creative ways to bring health promotion not only into the business community, but into the community as a whole.
Values
The Wellness Council recognizes values as a must in achieving our goals.
Values First = Achieving Goals
