Where are your health benefit dollars going?
You probably know that 80% of healthcare costs are the result of lifestyle-associated conditions such coronary heart disease, gall bladder disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, adult-onset-diabetes, bronchial disorders, hypertension, breast, lung and prostrate cancer, and on-the-job accidents.

Most likely, you also know that companies like Coors™, Bank of America™ and Travelers™ have shown that for every dollar spent on lifestyle management and disease prevention, they get a $3 - 5 return. Yet, 95% of health benefit expense is devoted to treating only the effects, and not the cause of these problems.

This is why negative health habits like smoking, poor diet, alcohol abuse, and stress continue to cost US companies $500 billion each year. Habits causing symptoms such as healthcare costs, absenteeism, lost productivity and negative employee morale. Did you know...?

On average smokers are absent 7 more days per year.
Overweight employees average 11% higher insurance claims.
Alcohol abuse is the #1 cause of lost productivity.

The challenge facing disease prevention is creating permanent change.
