Navigating Employee Health & Wellness Through Innovative Models Among Large Federal Agencies Gene Migliaccio, DrPH, Director, FOH; Michael Donovan, PhD, Public Health Analyst, FOH; Kristen Felicione, MPH, CPH, Public Health Analyst, FOH; Garry Lindsay, MPH, MCHES,Deputy Director, Wellness and Health Promotion Services (WHPS), FOH; LCDR Janae Price, MPH, Associate Director, Health Promotion Account Management, WHPS, FOH Tightening budgets, sequestration, and government shutdowns have federal agencies closely examining every dollar spent and exploring innovative ways to deliver health and wellness programs. Program offerings and modes of delivery run the gamut, including comprehensive models that lean on a high on-site presence, high tech and high touch approaches, and virtual-based models. Panelists representing three large federal agencies, Department of Defense Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Department of Veteran s Affairs (VA), and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will share best practices, lessons learned, and ultimately the health impact and Return on Investment (ROI) of these models. 5.
