David Shapiro, Health Links™

"My name is David and I am the program manager at Health Links. Talking to people about Total Worker Health® is what excites me about my work. I have had the privilege and honor to work with hundreds of employers (and thousands of people) on their workplace health, safety, and well-being activities. The human interaction—even over zoom—is what has helped me get through during the pandemic. We are all people dealing with this incredibly stressful situation. I acknowledge that each one of us (and each employer) is dealing with the stress in our own way. Listening and learning from one another is, in my opinion, our only way forward. Being able to share research-informed resources and real-world best practices between employers in our Healthy Workplace network gives me great energy and joy."
