Corporate Wellness Program
Did you know that 70% of healthcare costs in the United States are preventable? According to the American Heart Association, we lose $32 BILLION a year because of premature illness associated with cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
What does this mean for your business?
Company benefits for providing a wellness program include: lower healthcare costs, reduced absenteeism and greater productivity and morale. Returns on investment include double-digit decreases in sick leave, hospital admissions, disability days and per capita workers compensation costs.
In fact, 86% of companies with more than 50 employees offer a wellness program, and 31% of employers offering disease management programs reported a positive return on investment.
A solution:
Employees spend approximately 36% of their total waking hours at work. This makes the worksite an ideal place to provide workers with the knowledge and skills needed to help improve attitudes and behaviors concerning health. Improving employee health can:

(They come to us)
Cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are all linked by common risk factors, behaviors and/or health habits associated with physical inactivity and poor nutrition.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States.
Every year, U.S. businesses spend billions of dollars on the health care of their employees for diseases that are impacted by obesity and inactivity such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Longer work weeks, fast-paced lifestyles, family commitments, as well as other reasons, are driving Americans to eat more on the go than ever before. For employers, poor employee health leads to lower productivity, lower morale, and higher insurance claims.
