What are your business’s core values, goals, and overall mission?

Healthier757 is a community-wide public health literacy initiative designed to improve the health and wellness of Hampton Roads’ citizens and the economic prosperity of our region. We believe that improving health literacy — the degree to which individuals are able to obtain, process, and understand the basic health information they need to make appropriate health decisions — is the key to achieving these goals. 

Our mission is to support local businesses by helping them improve employee health, attract and retain employees, reduce healthcare costs, and increase workforce productivity. We do this through Rewards for Healthy Living, a gamified health education platform that’s available for free to all 757 businesses.

Our goal is simple: To make learning fun and rewarding and to improve the health literacy and productivity of your employees.

WATCH: Learn how improving health literacy enhances the health and productivity of your workforce.
