First do good!-steps in the Scheibbs Clinic: Movement for everyone!

Scheibbs, Österreich - New momentum for health in the State Clinic Scheibbs: On June 28, 2025, the first "Tot good!"-step path in the clinic garden was opened, a project that is intended to promote the movement in the fresh air for patients, patients and employees. State Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko took over the opening and referred to the importance of this 300 meter long path, which not only stimulates to integrate more movement into everyday life, but also serves as a resort. The clinic garden is already known as a retreat, and this space is enriched with the new step.

The step is designed in such a way that it can be used without any problems even by less fit. This is an important element of occupational health promotion, which is intended to increase the daily step balance of employees and address different urge to move. Mag. Christian Paumann emphasized that the steps of the steps have a bridge between prevention and care, and it complements the nationwide network of over 240 steps in Lower Austria. This initiative aims to promote the perception of the environment, which is supported by newly integrated mindfulness boards.

"Do good!" Initiative for small businesses

Not only in the clinic there are new opportunities for more exercise and health. As part of the “Tops good!” Program, the company health promotion is also expanded to small and small businesses. State Councilor Martin Eichtinger and WKNÖ President Wolfgang Ecker emphasized the positive effects of these measures on the working atmosphere and the satisfaction of the employees. Around 70 companies in Lower Austria are currently participating in this program.

The new concept takes into account the needs of companies with up to 20 employees. Through consultations and information talks, companies receive support in creating health -promoting structures. This is done, among other things, through a questionnaire and through workshops for the concrete elaboration of measures. The entire process will be "good!" Coordinated and is free of charge for companies, but the implementation is the responsibility of the companies.

The programs aim to establish a health -promoting lifestyle in the work environment. Employers can implement various measures that are part of a structured health promotion process. In addition to work -promoting work, these also include topics such as coping with stress and healthy eating in everyday life. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, these initiatives are a central component of health policy and help to increase the motivation of work and the general quality of life of the employees.

With the opening of the step in the State Clinic Scheibbs and the progressive implementation of the "Tops!" Program it becomes clear that the promotion of health in Lower Austria is very important. Such initiatives are worth gold, especially in times when stress and lack of exercise are increasingly being used.
