Ergonomic Assessments
We spend a large part of our day sitting at our desks or standing at our workstations. Making sure these are properly set up to avoid chronic pain and overuse injuries is essential. Please e-mail Jen Jacobsen, wellness coordinator, if you are interested in getting a professional ergonomics expert to evaluate your workstation and recommend any changes. If there is enough interest at this time, wellness will schedule appointments in February.
