SAN ANTONIO, TX, May 18, 2011 /Human Resources PR News/ -- The American Heart Association has recognized WellMed Medical Management Inc. for its healthy workplace initiatives, naming the healthcare company a 2011 Start! Fit-Friendly Company.
WellMed is a Gold Level Award recipient in the Start! Fit-Friendly Companies Recognition Program, a key element of the American Heart Association's national movement encouraging businesses to promote workplace exercise and good nutrition.
American employers face increasing healthcare expenses and health-related losses in productivity that cost an estimated $225.8 billion a year. Many American adults spend most of their waking hours at sedentary jobs.
The Start! Fit-Friendly Companies Program encourages companies to make employee health and wellness a priority. Start! helps change corporate cultures by motivating employees to start walking, which has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity.
WellMed was recognized for wellness initiatives including employee walking challenges, gym membership reimbursements, insurance premium reductions for participation in healthy activities and a robust smoking cessation program.
In October, WellMed was cited for its worksite wellness programs in the first Healthy Workplaces Recognition Program sponsored by San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (Metro Health) and the San Antonio Worksite Wellness Task Force.
WellMed, one of San Antonio's largest private employers, has a workforce of 1,700.
