Wellness at ORC Industries

The health of an organization is directly tied to the health and well-being of that organization's employees.

Good health has a direct impact on every employee's alertness, their ability to perform well, a positive attitude, and a minimum of downtime.

Our mission speaks of independence and self-reliance on the part of those we serve, namely, our employees with disabilities. At ORC Industries, we consider our investment in these Wellness Centers to be a reinvestment in our own mission, and in the very people we serve on a daily basis.

Health and Wellness at ORC.

ORC Industries
has a dual focus
of providing employees who have disabilities with work opportunities
as well as vital rehabilitation services.

To that end, the Wellness Centers in La Crosse, Wisconsin and Brownsville, Texas are a significant step towards increased employee independence and health.

The Wellness Centers include:

• Exercise equipment designed specifically for physically disable employees
• State of the art cardiovascular exercise equipment
• A free weight training area
• Indoor walking track
• Separate rooms for motion exercises and aerobic classes
• Certified Trainers on duty to assist, recommend and chart progress

Nutritional Counseling.

Healthy eating habits are especially important for people with disabilities. As part of the overall Wellness Center effort, ORC Industries also provides each employee with the opportunity for nutritional counseling.

That counseling, provided by a Certified Nutritional Specialist and Dietician, involves an examination of the current nutritional habits of the client and written recommendations and one-on-one counseling with regard to menu, food groups, and good eating habits.
