Employee Wellness

At Northwest, employee wellness (mind, body and spirit) is of the utmost importance.

This winter, we are introducing a new, year-long health program to our Bearcat Family – Wondr!

Northwest Winter “Wondr”-Land

Wondr is a weight loss program that's clinically proven to help participants lose weight, sleep better, stress less, and so much more. Participants will learn simple skills based on behavioral science, helping them enjoy their favorite foods and feel better.

Dr. Van Buren, ND, MSN

I am very excited to announce a new addition to the Northwest HR Wellness Program for 2024. Beginning February 19, employees who currently hold a BCBS insurance plan are eligible to participate in the Wondr program at no cost to them.

In health, 
 - Melissa
Employee Wellness Coordinator
