History

Background
The Healthy Worksite Summit is a collaborative effort by the Association of Washington Cities, the Washington State Dairy Council and the American Heart Association. These organizations are known as the Summit partners.

The Healthy Worksite Summit (formerly known as the Evergreen Everwell Conference) has been offered annually since 1987. The first conference was run as a project of the Governor’s Council for Physical Fitness, Health and Sports. When the Governor’s Council was disbanded, the conference was taken over by a group of statewide non-profit organizations that are now known as the Summit partners. Partner organizations have come and gone over the years, but have maintained the desire to invite only non-profit or government organizations to serve as partners.

Mission
The mission of the Healthy Worksite Summit is to provide training and networking opportunities for promoting worksite health in Washington State. The Summit supports anyone interested in designing, promoting and implementing strategies to promote worksite health. Participants represent both large and small organizations from the public and private sectors. The Summit is designed for those representing health promotion, employee benefits and injury prevention.
