Wells Fargo is a provider of banking, mortgage, investing, credit card, insurance, and consumer and commercial financial services.  The merger of Wells Fargo and Wachovia doubled our size. We’re no longer defined as just a regional bank. We’re a national company, with operations that stretch across the globe.  With this growth in size and scope, what makes us different than other so-called “large banks”? How do we define ourselves? We’re a community-based, diversified financial services company.

Universities Wellness Alliance of KY
What started out as a place dedicated to the Kentucky Worksite Wellness Initiative (KWWI) has quickly (before launch actually) grown broader and now also serves as home to the Barren River Worksite Wellness pilot project, School Health Promotion (K-12) Resources, and the University Wellness Alliance of Kentucky (UWAK). Worksite Wellness in Kentucky is available to provide evidence-based strategic wellness program resources and support in all sectors for all size organizations and companies in the state. As we move forward to improve the health and economy in Kentucky through worksite wellness programs, it is sure others will also join us in this effort.  The purpose of this initiative is to provide businesses and organizations in the state with education, technical assistance, support, resources, and tools necessary to implement effective comprehensive wellness programs including prevention and management of chronic diseases and other worksite health related issues.
