Most Americans spend more than half of their waking hours at work. This makes the workplace an ideal site to encourage healthy lifestyles. Employers can be financially motivated to encourage healthy weight management as the issue also impacts their bottom line.

60% of adults in Lancaster County are overweight; 20% are obese. Obese individuals may have up to 50% higher medical costs than normal weight employees. 

If you are a business owner, an employer representative, insurance broker, wellness consultant, or other professional who has an interest in the healthy weight management of employees, please consider joining our Workplace Action team, which focuses on offering resources and programs that can provide turnkey solutions for workplaces.
