These funds help turn a ‘wish list’ idea into reality and make a real difference in the lives of employees across the state.” – Lili Tenney, director of Health Links Health Links has awarded funding to 15 Colorado businesses to support capital health and safety improvements in their workplaces. This year, 29 businesses across five counties submitted applications for Healthy Business Accelerator Awards.
