ABOUT
In June 2008, the Hampshire
County Group Insurance Trust launched a worksite wellness promotion
program dedicated to increasing awareness and promoting healthy behavior
among its members.
Over
25% of health care costs are associated with unhealthy lifestyles or
behaviors that can be changed. Addressing some of these unhealthy behaviors
can improve employee health and reduce medical expenses for everyone.
It makes sense for employees, employers, and health insurance companies
to help create environments that support and encourage good health.

more about your Blue Cross and Blue Shield benefits including partial
reimbursement for heath club membership,and weight loss programs.

promotion is the science and art of helping people change their lifestyle
to move toward a state of optimal health ."
