From the Editor Welcome to our brave new electronic newsletter.
*What is a spartner? Some folks have spouses, some have domestic partners. When you combine both terms, you get — spartners! We welcome all employees and their spartners to subscribe to the Health Matters e-mail Newsletter. By receiving Health Matters newsletter at home, you can share information and ideas on living a healthier life with your family and friends. | In an effort to save county dollars and be more environmentally friendly Health Matters has left the world of hard copy behind and will now publish electronically. You can now have Health Matters sent to you and your "spartner"*. Send us your email address and we'll do the rest.As with our paper version, this e-newsletter will continue to publish on the first week of every month. By sending Health Matters to your email address, we’ll be able to go more in-depth, and be timelier than ever. We’ll continue to keep you informed on how to Eat Smart, Move More, Stress Less, Logon & Learn, Quit Tobacco, and Choose Generics. We’ll continue to bring you important notices about programs and deadlines concerning your health benefits, and we’ll keep telling your incredible stories of challenge and change through our regular “Health Heroes” feature. As always, the staff at Health Matters will work hard to give you accurate, incisive information presented in a fresh and friendly manner. We reach a little farther, too, by including more photos, video and web links to the news, events and people that make up our growing community of wellness. - If you don’t have a King County email or want Health Matters delivered to any personal email address, send your personal email address to: focusonemployess@kingcounty.gov . Everyone is welcome.
- Health Matters is also working with supervisors in workplaces that have limited computer access (Metro bases, facilities, parks, etc) to provide employees hard copy versions of the newsletter.
Thank you for helping Health Matters save the green stuff. Here’s to a Healthy New Year!
