Dobies Health Marketing: A Healthy KC Company

KANSAS CITY, Mo – Dobies Health Marketing, a healthcare marketing firm located in downtown Kansas City, has been certified as a Healthy KC Company for the second consecutive year. This recognition comes from the Healthy KC Workplace Wellness initiative, a program created in 2014 by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and other regional health and wellness leaders.

“We are very proud to be among the growing number of local companies who are making workplace wellness a priority,” said Julie Amor, President and Chief Strategy Officer at Dobies Health Marketing, adding that the company’s mission is to inspire better health decisions locally, nationally and even globally. “That health-positive philosophy is deeply embedded in every aspect of our work and highly embraced in our culture.”

In addition to the traditional furnishings one expects to see in any workplace, the offices at Dobies Health Marketing include exercise bikes, standing work areas, balance balls, and a special space dedicated to letting employees share articles, infographics and other communications with healthy lifestyle tips. Walking meetings are encouraged, and the company regularly hosts lunch-and-learns to provide expert guidance on such topics as nutrition and work-life integration.

Amor says the company is continuously adding to its workplace wellness initiative with a goal of more comprehensively – and creatively – supporting employee health and wellness. Earlier this year, the company launched its Apple a Day program, which provides opportunities for employees to inspire healthier eating habits in others by giving apples and nutritional information to students at local schools.

The KC Chamber reports that the number of Healthy KC Certified companies has nearly doubled since 2015. “We applaud the Healthy KC Commission for engaging local companies in finding ways to create a healthier workforce,” said Amor. “It is so exciting to see how the program has grown, and it is truly an honor to contribute to a culture of health and wellness that is coming to life across Greater Kansas City.”
