Tophill Hospital Hosts Landmark Corporate Health Seminar in Trans-Nzoia, Uniting Over 70 Institutions for Workplace Wellness

 

Tophill Hospital has taken a bold step in advancing workplace wellness by hosting a high-impact Corporate Health Seminar in Trans-Nzoia County, drawing participation from over 70 institutions spanning government agencies and leading private sector organizations. The event brought together HR managers, branch managers, and directors under one roof, all committed to a shared mission: fostering healthier, high-performing workplaces across Kenya.

In his keynote address, Dr. Florentious Koech, CEO and Lead Neurosurgeon at Tophill Hospital, highlighted the growing health challenges affecting the modern workforce — including mental health struggles, chronic stress, burnout, and poor workplace ergonomics. He emphasized the need for a shift in how institutions approach employee wellness, stating, “The modern workplace is silently suffering from preventable health crises. But prevention is power. Wellness is leadership. And health is your institution’s greatest asset.”

Participants engaged in practical sessions exploring how to integrate mental health support into the workplace, reduce occupational stress, improve physical ergonomics, and understand the economic benefits of investing in employee wellness. The event sparked renewed enthusiasm for institutional wellness programs, with many leaders expressing a strong desire to return to their organizations with actionable strategies.

Tophill Hospital reaffirmed its broader vision — not just as a healthcare provider, but as a national champion for corporate health consciousness. “What we’re doing here in Trans-Nzoia is just the beginning,” Dr. Koech noted. “We are working to build a national culture where employee health is seen as a strategic asset — not a cost.”

The success of the seminar positions Trans-Nzoia County as a key player in advancing corporate health dialogue in Kenya and marks an important milestone in Tophill Hospital’s commitment to building a healthier, more productive nation.
