    DENVER, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- CH2M HILL, a global full-service

 Fit-Friendly Companies program recognizes employers who champion the health

     "CH2M HILL has not only recognized the importance of a healthy
 workplace but has taken important steps to create a culture of physical
 activity in the workplace," said M. Cass Wheeler, Chief Executive Officer
 of the American Heart Association. "CH2M HILL has promoted a wellness
 culture by providing support to employees and implementing physical,
 nutritional and cultural changes."
     When being considered for this award, the AHA looked at the types of
 meals offered in the CH2M HILL cafe, the walking programs and fitness
 facilities offered by the fitness committee, the firm's involvement in
 health and wellness organizations in the community, health education
 materials provided to employees and the company's overall commitment to
 health and safety.
     "We actively pursued the American Heart Association's Fit Friendly
 Company award because it was a perfect match to CH2M HILL's commitment to
 the health and wellbeing of its employees," said Sherri Boness, CH2M HILL's
 fitness center steering committee lead. "Employees mainly join CH2M HILL
 for the great projects that we work on, but the firm's commitment to
 fitness, health and safety is a reason they stay. It is a reflection of the
 kind of culture we have where the needs of the client are addressed in
 balance with the needs of our employees."
     CH2M HILL and the Department of Veteran Affairs were the only two
 Colorado companies that qualified as Start! Fit Friendly companies.
