    Baltimore, MD – The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Healthiest Maryland Businesses program presented sixty-seven Maryland employers with Wellness at Work awards, recognizing accomplishment in worksite health promotion, during its tenth annual Maryland Workplace Health and Wellness Symposium in Baltimore on Friday, June 7.

    “Worksites present a terrific setting to improve health and prevent chronic conditions for Maryland employees.
