As many businesses struggle to reverse the trend of rising healthcare costs, fitness and wellness programs are becoming essential to their economic livelihood. The Whitin Community Center has answered the call of the corporate community by developing Taking Care of Business, a corporate fitness and wellness program designed to introduce every employee to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and help them develop lifelong healthy habits for their entire family.

The Whitin Community Center’s Taking Care of Business program offers:

• A FREE benefit to your employees with no obligation on your part. We will manage the program for you. Employees are just asked for proof of employment upon registration.

The Taking Care of Business corporate membership program is open to businesses who:

• Are a member of the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce
