The best programs begin by assessing these factors in your organization:
Then, we do a health risk assessment, in which team members complete a questionnaire about their exercise, eating, smoking, and other lifestyle behaviors. We also offer a medical screening for blood pressure, body fat, and glucose and cholesterol levels. Once results are compiled, team members receive personalized, confidential reports.
As an employer, you receive an aggregate health report of all participants, indicating the number of individuals who may be at risk, along with a compilation of team member interest in various wellness offerings. These reports are valuable in evaluating which wellness programs and services are best suited to your organization.
Yes! Our programs are customized to your organization’s needs.
