Fact:

In 2004, our Tobacco Cessation Program for the State of West Virginia assisted over 2,900 individuals in quitting tobacco. The total average cost savings, including both direct health care and productivity costs, was $13.636 million, yielding an average return on investment of 742%.

2004 West Virginia Tobacco Cessation Program Annual Report

On average, for every 100 employees:

~ 60 are sedentary
~ 25 smoke
~ 64 are obese/overweight
~ 27 have heart disease
~ 10 have diabetes
~ 50 have high cholesterol
~ 24 have high blood pressure
~ 50 are distressed

Health is more than the absence of disease. It’s about employees’ lifestyles:

~ How they feel
~ How they think
~ How they eat
~ How they move
~ How they live

How are your employees living and what is your cost?

In 2004, $1.7 trillion* was spent on health care in the United States. Fortunately, the average annual medical and productivity expense for each person correlates with health risks. We can help your employees beBetter without spending a lot of money.
