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.

Visit www.bluecrossma.com to learn more about your Blue Cross and Blue Shield benefits including partial reimbursement for heath club membership,and weight loss programs.

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