(ROWLETT, TX – April 20, 2015) Lake Pointe Health Network, based in Rowlett, was recently selected as one of the Dallas Business Journal’s Healthiest Employers in North Texas for remarkable dedication to providing a healthy workplace. LPHN received the No. 20 ranking in the large company category. This is the third consecutive year LPHN has received the award.
“Lake Pointe is incredibly proud to be honored as one of North Texas’ healthiest employers for the third year in a row,” said Brett Lee, LPHN chief executive officer. “We understand that as a healthcare facility, it is important to lead by example for our community, which is why we strive to take a proactive stance toward keeping the well-being and health of our employees a top priority.”
The annual awards program, created by Indianapolis-based Healthiest Employers LLC, measures wellness in six categories: culture and leadership commitment, foundational components, strategic planning, communication and marketing, programming and interventions and reporting and analysis. With more than 1,000 employees, LPHN was selected in the large company category for this year’s award.
As a Tenet Healthcare-owned organization, LPHN utilizes the Tenet Total Wellness approach to implement different wellness programs year-round. Staff members and their families are encouraged to take their physical health seriously and are rewarded for reaching or taking steps to reach specific health goals related to six dimensions of wellness: physical, community service, environmental stewardship, learning and development, financial knowledge and emotional wellness. The staff has opportunities to take part in wellness seminars, challenges and activities and employee participation is awarded with chances to win monthly prizes.
Kara York, a LPHN employee and day surgery secretary at Lake Pointe Medical Center, shared, “Not only has Lake Pointe’s employee health and wellness program helped me monitor my own health, but it has also motivated me to share it with my friends, family and patients. Living a healthy, balanced lifestyle is a key factor to happiness and success, and I am grateful that Lake Pointe is encouraging and implementing these practices.”
