The Grossmont College Wellness Initiative will further the efforts of the county,
along with the East County Health and Human Services (HHS) Division of the Live
Well, San Diego!: Building Better Health Initiative and the 3-4-50 concept. The
staggering numbers indicate that 3 behaviors cause 4 diseases that result in 50%
of the deaths nationally. In East County, the percent of deaths caused by these
same behaviors is nearly 62%! These behaviors, which include smoking/alcohol
use, poor diet and lack of activity, are crucial aspects to promote health
and well-being among East County residents. Grossmont College intends to
change lives by educating and changing the behaviors of our employees
while planning to scale up efforts in subsequent years. Beginning
Spring 2012, Grossmont College will offer volunteer-led activity
groups, wellness/exercise fee-based classes, healthy eating options,
and smoking cessation workshops and support.
