Last Friday, we celebrated our annual Wellness Day with a morning presentation focused on "Generations in the Workplace" by Dr. Heidi Orstad DNP RN PHN CCM. In the afternoon, employees had the opportunity to focus on resetting, reflecting, and recharging their mind, body, and soul. Ultimately, the health of our company relies on the well-being of our employees. #meritexwellnessday
