Obama’s
Corporate Wellness Initiatives Delivered By Professional Health
Services
Havertown,
PA – August 7, 2009 – The
Obama Administration has put corporate wellness programs like
those offered by Professional Health Services (PHS) at the forefront
of healthcare reform. The benefits of improving employee
health not only increase productivity and decrease absenteeism,
but also lower health care costs.
In a released statement, The White House comments, “Employers
are discovering that improving quality of care can reduce health
care costs. Small actions in the workplace can generate
large benefits. [President Obama] hopes …we can
improve the productivity of our workforce, delay and avoid many
of the complications of chronic diseases, and slow medical cost
growth.”
Professional Health Services’ nationwide wellness and
health testing programs offer business and public service organizations,
like fire companies, a streamlined way of participating in the
initiative as outlined by The Obama Administration. Professional
Health Services’ programs are brought directly to clients’ locations
by mobile testing units that bring medical surveillance and wellness
initiatives directly onsite. Employees can be tested quickly
and are able to return to work with minimal downtime or interruption
to operations.
The list of costs to business grows when employees continue
to remain unaware of health risks that are affecting their work
performance and their quality of life. The importance of
this issue has moved beyond individuals and companies. So
much so that community health centers across the country will
receive $850 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
grants – a demonstration of true national commitment.
Michael Kleinman, President of PHS, explains, “It’s
not enough to just manage chronic disease anymore. The
financial and personal costs to individuals and corporations
are just too great. Preventative health care must include
complete wellness programs that support screenings for early
risk detection, healthy diet, exercise and mental health. When
people learn how to minimize their high risk categories by taking
control of their own behaviors, it’s a win-win situation
for individuals, employers and the entire community.”
