NFD/MNPD Wellness Initiative

The NFD/ MNPD Wellness Initiative was created to address the problem of heart disease, obesity, smoking and sedentary lifestyle among the public safety population. Similar programs have demonstrated a decrease in sick leave usage and injuries on duty. The goal is to bring about change that will improve the health and quality of life of participants, enabling them to better serve the citizens of Nashville. The NFD/ MNPD Wellness Initiative Fitness and Nutrition Services are designed to enhance the yearly physical exam performed by the Civil Service Medical Examiner, Occupational Health and Wellness staff along with primary care physicians. Participating individuals receive personalized fitness and nutrition information delivered face to face and through electronic communication to enhance readiness to change. The services help individuals initiate and sustain a positive and healthy lifestyle.
