INTRODUCTION
The Tri-city Wellness Program began at Atherton PD in August 2023. Within the first months of the program, Wellness Solutions developed a customized Wellness Platform to support the onsite face to face interactions and extend the reach of the wellness services. Over the course of the first year, the focus has been on increasing awareness of the wellness program and establishing rapport with APD staff to improve their well-being. The wellness program has successfully reached 31 different personnel to date. Throughout this report, you will see the successes of the Wellness Program based on increasing participation numbers, engagement in services, and participant testimonials.

WELLNESS PROGRAM GOALS
The APD Wellness Program aims to improve the overall health and fitness of sworn and professional staff personnel through assessment, education, and programming. Furthermore, the below targets have been identified as key elements to address chronic health concerns facing law enforcement. These goals serve as a guiding force in the program components delivered daily.

Target #1 Cardiovascular Disease: To reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by striving to reduce risk factors such as blood pressure, blood cholesterol and body composition.

Target #2 Physical Fitness: To encourage improvement of physical fitness levels of sworn and civilian staff to maintain job performance and enhance overall health.

Target #3 Injuries: To reduce the frequency, severity, and cost of injuries.

Target #4 Overall Wellness: To assist personnel in understanding the dimensions of wellness and how they are interconnected. Enhance overall health and mental wellness of the department's employees.

The following report details the progress made in achieving the goals above, as well as an overview of the program’s reach in its first year of administration.

HEALTH ASSESSMENT RESULTS
Table 1 below represents individuals who completed the blood work screening and the corresponding percentages of people who fell in a healthy range for each risk factor. Various health markers indicate less than ideal values for the population and elevated risk. 64% of individuals tested fell into medium-high risk categories for LDL cholesterol which has a strong correlation to risk for cardiac event. Furthermore, 55% of personnel displayed elevated total cholesterol values. 27% of individuals tested displayed elevated HbA1c values, a strong predictor for diabetes. These values support the need for the wellness program and valuable education and lifestyle coaching provided by the onsite Wellness Coordinator.

Through the various wellness services and resources provided through the Wellness Program, and with the onsite presence of the Wellness Coordinator, we are addressing the goals set out for APD. Below we included testimonials from participants who have utilized the wellness services this year. Their feedback continues to drive our wellness efforts to improve the well-being of all APD personnel.

DEPARTMENT TESTIMONIALS AND FEEDBACK
“Thank you for putting this together. These events keep me motivated to work harder to reach my goal weight.” -Summer Shred Participant
“Thank you so much for bringing the food delivery program to the PD! Being on nightshift it is hard to find healthy options, so I like having the option to grab food from the fridge.” “Thank you for showing me warmup techniques for my shoulder. I haven’t benched in years because it would hurt too much. I am excited to get back into benching."
