Believing that “well” employees are better equipped to provide strong customer service and more efficient and effective work, Catawba County is dedicated to promoting and maintaining an organization that encourages environmental and social support for wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle through education, communication, and resources that will benefit all Catawba County staff and their families. Wellness activities include, but are not limited to, bi-annual medical screenings, educational classes and lunch-n-learn programs, chair massages, physical fitness challenges, special incentive plans, stress management workshops and activities, community resources, and positive and encouraging wellness information, etc.

Our Wellness Committee, made up of one employee representative from each department, meets monthly to evaluate current programs and recommend development of programs to further wellness for all County employees.
