ACOEM and ACLM Release Guide to Bringing Lifestyle Medicine into Workplaces
Chesterfield, MO — The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine released The Guide to Bringing Lifestyle Medicine into Workplaces on August 19, 2026. The guide supports efforts to help employers build healthier workforces from the ground up.
Guide Purpose and Audience
The resource targets employers, benefits leaders, occupational health professionals and lifestyle medicine clinicians. It focuses on moving beyond traditional wellness programs to create durable, systems-level approaches to workforce health. The guide includes keys to success, case studies and links to other resources.
Employers can shape health benefits and reimbursement pathways, work conditions and organizational culture, and access to clinicians, programs and supportive environments according to Safety+Health Magazine. This positioning allows employers to drive meaningful, sustained health improvements at scale for their workforce and dependents.
Collaboration Details
The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine produced the guide jointly. The workplace serves as one of the most powerful platforms for preventing chronic disease and supporting well-being, per the source.
Statements from ACOEM Leadership
Jill Rosenthal, physician and president of the ACOEM board of directors, stated that the collaboration reflects what occupational and environmental medicine has long understood about the workplace platform. She added that bringing lifestyle medicine and occupational health together provides employers and clinicians a practical roadmap to build environments where health can thrive, prevent disease rather than only treat it after appearance, and represent the future of workforce health.
