Corporate Wellness Programs
At least 50 percent of health care expenditures are lifestyle related and therefore are potentially preventable.
Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, Director of the Institute for Health Policy at The University of Texas School of Public Health

The Texas State Comptroller estimates that costs to Texas businesses due to adult obesity and obesity-related illnesses totaled more than $3.3 billion in 2005, and these costs are growing.  Health care expenditures and decreased productivity at work, presenteeism, accounted for most of these costs.

Many Texas companies are shifting their health care focus from disease treatment to prevention, in an effort to reduce future health care costs for preventable diseases.  The most successful of these programs offer financial incentives to employees, such as lower health insurance deductibles and/or company-paid gym fees, health assessment programs and many other programs to encourage employees to choose healthy lifestyles.
