ABOUT WELLNESS WORKS

The Wellness Works in Howard County program is intended to help employees enjoy the maximum level of personal wellness – and save costs along the way.

Vision

The employees of Howard County Government and its allied agencies will enjoy the maximum level of personal wellness, and the organizations they work for will have a highly engaged and productive workforce.
