Keith County moves forward with Banner Health wellness agreement for staff
Summary
The commissioners voted to proceed with a Banner Health employee wellness agreement; Banner's legal review may take about three months and staff expect wellness checks to be available to employees starting in February.
The Keith County Board voted to move forward with a wellness agreement negotiated with Banner Health that will provide staff wellness checks. County staff said the pricing under the agreement has not changed and that Banner Health typically requires about three months to complete legal review before a program can be active.
Commissioners asked only clarifying questions about timing and implementation; one commissioner described it as an "excellent program" aimed at making annual checks available to county employees. Commissioner Irvin moved to proceed and Commissioner Wortman seconded; the motion passed on a roll‑call vote with all present voting yes.
Next steps: staff will continue to coordinate with Banner Health to complete legal review and prepare to make services available to county employees in the coming months.
