Our 2009 Success Story!
The Health is Wealth program has hit the 5 year mark! Our programs over the past four years have laid the foundation to lead a healthy lifestyle. Now its time to broaden our horizon and understand the importance of behavioral changes in our lives.
The 2009 Health is Wealth program continued our healthy lifestyle philosophy by providing you with ways to improve your overall health and fitness. Some of our many accomplishments include:
IGHL Biggest Loser 3rd successful year with over 1,000 pounds lost!!
New non-smokers results in a healthier employee population!
Healthier Habits in 2009 as Wellness in the Workplace gave us new resources!
Exercising increased as our fitness center helped us over the exercise hump!
2011 A New Adventure!
Our 2011 Health is Wealth program is geared toward awareness and responsibility. Awareness of our individual health and responsibility to change our behavior towards a healthier lifestyle. The Biometric Screening and Smoking Cessation programs have been replaced with two new programs, Annual Physical and Changing Weighs Weight Management. With only 11% of individuals enrolled in an IGHL medical plan obtaining an annual physical, now is the time to change this behavior by offering an incentive to better understand our health risks. Heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and diabetes are usually related to being overweight/obese. Weight changes can have a positive impact on these conditions and this is where the weight management program can help!
Are you ready for the adventure? Let's go!
