THE HEALTH DIMENSIONS STORY

Before workplace wellness became a national catchphrase, Health Dimensions was there pioneering the way. Our visionary founder, Rodell Jackson, started San Diego’s first health fair company as a home-based business almost twenty years ago, while she was still a single mother raising two teenage sons. And from those humble beginnings, Health Dimensions has risen as the premier coordinator of employee health fairs and corporate wellness programs today.

A history of innovation

It all began in the early nineties when Rodell was working as a corporate trainer and teaching stress and weight management skills to employees at area corporations. She could see an urgent need to take the message of living a healthy, balanced lifestyle to a broader audience, and she had an idea. Why not coordinate employee health fairs and hold them onsite in the workplace? Company health fairs were virtually unknown at the time, but Rodell felt strongly that it was an idea whose time had come.

In the spring of 1992, Rodell introduced the health fair concept in San Diego, and ran Health Dimensions out of her home with the help of just one employee. That first year in business, they coordinated health fairs for fifty local employers, including well known names such as the Home Depot, Cubic Corporation, Solar Turbines, and the City of Oceanside.

A commitment to customer service

From the start, Rodell made customer loyalty the company’s primary focus, and that dedication to service helped Health Dimensions grow by leaps and bounds over the next few years. The company soon expanded to Orange County, and the expansion heralded other new service offerings as well. First, a self-published health magazine, The Connection: Your Guide to Better Living, and then a monthly healthy tip email newsletter, were developed to keep the message of health and wellness in front of employees year-round.

Much to her surprise (and delight), Rodell’s sons asked to join the company shortly after they graduated college. Chad and Shawn share their mother’s pioneering spirit, commitment to customer service, and visionary leadership, and within a few short years the two helped further expand the company to the Phoenix and Dallas territories.

A leader in workplace wellness

Today, more than 250,000 people per year attend Heath & Lifestyle Expos coordinated by Health Dimensions. Our company employs a staff of twenty-two, and we’ve grown into a successful, thriving, and expanding business that proclaims the message of health and wellness to working men and women in three states. Plus, we have a strong and loyal client base that includes major corporations such as:

Health Dimensions recently extended our corporate wellness programs to the Los Angeles area as well, and also welcomed Daryl Hawkins to our team. The former Director of Corporate Wellness for 24 Hour Fitness now serves as our Senior Vice President and works side-by-side with Rodell, ensuring that her vision for the business and dedication to her customers continue to remain the company’s top priorities.

As the leaders in our industry, Health Dimensions has the experience and the know-how it takes to create a well-rounded wellness program for our clients and their employees. And while we’re large enough to handle all our clients’ health and wellness needs, we’re also still small enough to give them the personal attention they deserve. That’s the secret of our success. Our consistent record of excellent customer service is why so many of the companies we serve continue to use Health Dimensions as their event coordinator of choice year after year.

Envisioning a healthier tomorrow

Healthy living is our passion. Every day we strive to empower working individuals to lead better lives by providing the best, most comprehensive and professional resources available. And someday, we hope every employee in America will be able to attend a Health Dimensions’ Health & Lifestyle Expo, because all working Americans deserve the opportunity to live a healthy, happy, and more balanced life.
