Commissioner Boyle promotes biometric screening with $50 gift card incentive in Butte

During the recent Finance & Budget Committee Meeting held on April 22, 2025, in Butte-Silver Bow, significant discussions centered around community health initiatives and financial services for local government operations.

One of the key highlights was the introduction of a well-being program by the Human Resources department. This initiative encourages employees to participate in biometric screenings, which include blood draws, blood pressure checks, and weight measurements. Participants who complete the screening will receive a $50 gift card redeemable at various local businesses, promoting both health awareness and support for the community's economy.

Additionally, the committee addressed operational expenses, specifically regarding armored car services utilized by the treasurer's office. This service is essential for the secure transportation of funds, ensuring the financial integrity of the city's operations.

These discussions reflect the committee's commitment to enhancing employee wellness while maintaining robust financial practices. The well-being program not only aims to improve health outcomes among city employees but also fosters local business engagement, demonstrating a holistic approach to community welfare. As these initiatives move forward, they are expected to yield positive impacts on both public health and local economic vitality.
