THE WELLNESS FORUM EMPLOYER SPONSORED
WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAMS

Programs designed to lower insurance costs by improving employee health.

The cost of medical care is rising so rapidly that many employers are being forced to reduce benefits or ask employees to shoulder an ever-increasing portion of the cost of insurance in order to continue to provide a benefit plan. This situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Fortunately, there is another, better answer - teaching employees how to reduce their utilization of medical services. It is estimated that 85% of healthcare costs are for chronic, degenerative conditions, most of which are preventable and many of which are treatable by consuming a proper diet, getting enough exercise and reducing stress.

Using lifestyle change to reduce medical costs has been proven to be effective. Between 1997 and 2001, individuals selected by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota were taught by Dr. John McDougall how to improve their diet and lifestyle habits. The participants experienced, as a group, a 44% annual reduction in healthcare costs, while non-participants' costs increased by 12%.

The Wellness Forum offers similar programs, designed to reduce health care costs by improving employee health. These programs are based on the work of a small but growing group of doctors who have been using diet as a means of treating disease. These physicians have proven that certain dietary protocols can not only prevent disease, but can stop the progression of and even reverse serious conditions like coronary artery disease and multiple sclerosis. They have carefully tracked their results and published numerous articles in the medical literature.
