  WORKSITE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN KENTUCKY: OVERVIEW
  
  Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear launched the Kyhealthnow Initiative in February 2014. The initiative included a number of public health goals and associated strategies intended to significantly advance the wellbeing of all Kentucky’s residents by the year 2019.
  
  The initiative was an important call to action for many. It helped motivate state agencies such as the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) to reshape their own worksite wellness and physical activity policies. Agencies were able to leverage the Governor’s statewide focus on health to support institutional change that established and encouraged employee health and wellness programs and ultimately created a culture of health.
