Undetected disease is costly A wellness program with a strong cardiovascular emphasis, featuring services delivered by top-rate cardiovascular specialists, makes good business sense. Heart disease is the number one killer of American men and women. Sudden cardiac deaths have increased dramatically among people younger than age 35. On average, a worker in the U.S. loses 115 productive work hours every year due to a health condition. The total cost to employers in lost productive time for all health conditions is in the range of $2,000 per worker per year.* Also of note: as witnessed with the severe heart disease that went undetected in President Bill Clinton or journalist Tim Russert, traditional physical exams may not catch some of the silent symptoms of heart and vascular disease. Work-site wellness works According to an article published at The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online, "studies of high-profile work-site wellness programs suggest a number of important advantages... Participants report greater wellness and enhanced productivity". Objective data suggest that programs:chiefly attract employees with a favorable attitude toward both work and health reduce absenteeism and employee turnover produce a small increase in productivity, and reduce healthcare costs. "The cumulative benefit has been estimated at $500 to $700 per worker per year, enough to cover the cost of a... wellness program."
