June 2008 - Recently, Heritage Ministries named Melinda Young as their June Wellness Worker of the Month.  Heritage Ministries established the Wellness Worker of the Month program to help promote healthy eating and exercise for employees at each of its three Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing facilities and Retirement Campus. 

Melinda has served Heritage Village Rehab & Skilled Nursing as a Nurse for 8 years.  Melinda was chosen as the June Wellness Worker because she lost over forty pounds and committed to leading a healthier lifestyle.  Melinda decided to embark on a healthier lifestyle because she wanted to be a better example for her family. 

“I feel so much better about myself and I have a lot more energy,” states Melinda.  “I am eating more responsibly now and that is an important example to set for my children.  My children are my biggest supporters!  They enjoy our evening walks and constantly remind me that I don’t need that midnight snack.  I am well on my way to reaching my own personal weight loss goal and look forward to continuing my healthy lifestyle. ”   

Heritage Ministries is committed to providing its employees with programs and benefits designed to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
