Darrelle Pan - Risk Manager, City of Los Angeles Harbor Department


The Harbor Department hosted an employee health fair in 2007 to begin a wellness initiative focusing on wide-ranging aspects of employee wellbeing.  This one-day event grew in popularity and eventually expanded into a one-week event we now refer to as Wellness Week. 2020 was the first year this in-person event was hosted virtually. The Harbor Department turned to the experts at  LIVE well  for help and the results turned out great.  LIVE well   offered a wide-range of virtual fitness classes for Wellness Week such as HIIT, Kickboxing, Yoga, Zumba, Tai-Chi and more. Harbor employees expressed positive comments about the facilitators sharing that they are encouraging, fun, and creative in finding ways to accommodate all fitness levels. One Harbor employee shared an image to express her gratitude and appreciation for virtual fitness classes offered during her lunch break. 
Thank you 
LIVE well  for developing a FREE platform for LA City employees to maintain, improve, and focus, on his or her well-being. The Harbor Department considers you as a valuable wellness partner!
