Welcome to the SAISD Worksite Wellness Program!

The San Antonio Independent School District has implemented a worksite wellness program in an effort to improve the overall health and wellness of their employees. By living a healthy lifestyle, chronic illness can be prevented and  one's personal life and work life can be enhanced. The benefits of a worksite wellness program include, increased productivity, increased morale, decreased absenteeism and lower health care costs.

The goals of the employee wellness program are:

  • To create a healthy workplace where personal health and wellness are valued.
  • To increase awareness and understanding about healthy living and how to prevent chronic illness.
  • To collaborate with key community stakeholders and school district leaders in developing a comprehensive employee wellness program.
  • To increase the number of employees that participate in preventative type measurements, screenings and programs which will reduce health care cost. 
  • To support and acknowledge employees who engage in health and wellness activities to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

The website was developed to provide the most up to date information on health and wellness for school district employees.

Look for important information on district health care provider programs, worksite wellness challenges, community partnerships, community and district-wide events, healthy recipes and exercise tips.
