Numerous Montana businesses and organizations were honored for their commitment to wellness programs recently by a coalition of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS).
The Montana Worklife Wellness Coalition honored 19 award winners at the 3rd Worklife Wellness Conference in West Yellowstone on May 21, 2008.
