The Cleveland County Health Department announced local recipients of the 2008 Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business Awards this week. Twenty-six county businesses were recognized.

Representatives of the businesses will be honored at a luncheon Jan. 13 at the Governor’s Mansion. Businesses must meet specific criteria to be considered for awards.

Programs that make the businesses "healthy” include providing employee health screenings, workplace health and nutrition education, opportunities for physical exercise activities, management support for healthy workplace environments, tobacco use prevention activities, and sharing wellness activities within their communities.

The healthy business program is sponsored by Oklahoma Turning Point Council, Oklahoma Academy, The State Chamber, and Oklahoma State Department of Health. To learn more, go to www.ok turningpoint.org.
