Wellness means practicing all the things which keep a person well. It involves activities such as maintaining proper nutrition, exercising, controlling stress, as well as having good personal, family, and social relationships. Most importantly, wellness relies on practicing behaviors that prevent illness and disease. More and more Americans have realized that preventing an illness makes more sense than treating it once it has already occurred. More than 95% of healthcare spending in the United States goes toward diagnosing and treating existing illnesses yet we know that 70-80% of these costs are from things that can be prevented. That’s why there has never been a better time for wellness. As healthcare costs continue to be a concern for employers, wellness programs offer a proactive way to help employees and their families maintain and improve their health. What is the Wellspring Behavioral and Lifestyle Wellness Program?
Wellspring Healthcare uniquely offers a “packaged” comprehensive behavioral and lifestyle wellness program that is easy to implement, results-oriented, and applicable for employers of all budgets—even no budget! The Wellspring Healthcare Wellness Program includes essential elements of an effective program:
Assessment
To identify harmful behavioral and lifestyle risk factors of both employees and spouses, the Wellspring Program offers each a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) includes clinically obtained bio-metric data for enhanced validity and optional health screens including cholesterol testing, PSA, bone density, and much more.
Intervention
Once the risk factors are identified through the HRA, the Wellspring Healthcare Program offers a variety of options to fit each participant’s preferences and needs designed around our nationwide network of local Health Coaches including a complementary Health Risk Review to review the HRA, Health Coaching to assist one-on-one in addressing risk factors, 24/7 telephonic access through a comprehensive EAP for behavioral and emotional issues, monthly health challenges to get everyone motivated, and powerful web-based tools for customized nutritional and exercise programs. Wellspring Healthcare Members also have access to our group weight loss program based around coaching, exercise, education, nutrition, and accountability.
Education
To promote a healthier lifestyle on a year round basis, the Wellspring Healthcare Program includes a multi-faceted offering of educational resources to assist individuals in selecting a healthier lifestyle including a monthly health and wellness newsletter, on-site monthly presentations, and health fairs.
Discounted Access
To encourage individuals to use the more effective and less expensive wellness model rather than the medical model, the Wellspring Healthcare Program promotes the utilization of the Wellspring Network of health and wellness providers including a national network of discounted fitness centers. Additionally, Wellspring Healthcare Members have access to steeply discounted health screens, vitamins, and supplements. |
