10 Years of Making an Impact

The loyal and dedicated Well City Fox Cities (WCFC) Advisory Board embarked on their journey to achieve their 2nd Well City designation on August 12, 2015 with approval of their strategic plan from the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA). Only one other community in the United States has achieved a Well City designation twice. This community also residing in the state of Wisconsin (Well City Milwaukee). On November, 14 the Fox Cities region was awarded the coveted Well City USA designation by the WELCOA. With the achievement of 2 Well City designations, this showcases over 10 years of commitment to this region and aligning employers through the Well Workplace process.

WCFC Mission: Well City Fox Cities (WCFC) will be the catalyst for every employer to adopt a comprehensive results-oriented worksite wellness program as a key business strategy to a healthier workforce and ultimately leading to a healthier community in the Fox Cities.

WCFC Vision: All Fox Cities employers will offer a comprehensive worksite wellness program to enhance the health and wellbeing of the workforce and community we work, live and play in.

WCFC Goal: Within 36 months, a minimum of 20 employers within the designated Fox Cities region who employ at least 20% of the workforce will have achieved a Well Workplace designation from WELCOA, thus successfully retaining Well City status.
