Extensive research into the relationship between lifestyle modifications and reduced medical costs strongly indicates that a clear link between employee health habits and employer health insurance rates does exist.
HEALTHY PEOPLE will continue to offer quality health promotion programs for the years to come. The risk evaluation and health screening will be repeated periodically to assess the program's effectiveness and to reevaluate the changing needs of the employee population. Emphasis will be placed on addressing those health habits and environmental influences that can be best altered in the work place.
