We are excited to announce that the City of Peachtree Corners has been awarded one of the 2024 Health Wellness Grants by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). The grant supports the City of Peachtree Corners' commitment to facilitating positive change in the workplace culture and going the extra mile for employees’ health and wellness.  

GMA is honored to collaborate with the City of Peachtree Corners at every step of the health wellness journey. Awards are made statewide to Participating Employers enrolled in one or more medical plans through the GMEBS (Georgia Municipal Employees Benefit Services) Life and Health Insurance Fund.

The Health Wellness Program at GMA helps members embrace a variety of skills, mindsets, and cultures to encourage utmost well-being through workplace health wellness initiatives. These initiatives have demonstrated a track record of improving employee well-being and quality of life while enhancing workplace morale, reducing medical claims, and maximizing cost impact.

"As a city, we are committed to fostering an environment where our employees' health and well-being are a top priority,” added City Manager Brian Johnson. “This grant will enable us to build on our efforts to create a workplace culture that not only promotes wellness but also empowers our staff to make healthier lifestyle choices every day. Our employees are our greatest asset, and investing in their well-being ultimately benefits both the City of Peachtree Corners and the community we serve."

The City of Peachtree Corners has designated a Health Wellness Champion to coordinate/oversee the program and work in partnership with GMA to facilitate the planning of targeted activities. Jennifer Bonacci, Assistant Finance Director, has expounded on how the City of Peachtree Corners will benefit from implementing workplace health wellness initiatives.  

“We are excited to use our grant money to help make a difference in the lives of our employees by creating an atmosphere of health and wellness,” said Bonacci.  “Adult fitness opportunities are often put on the back burner due to work schedules, long commutes, and family obligations.  We hope to enable our employees to make small choices each day to increase their overall health and wellness and build a community of support and encouragement around health and wellness.”
