Wellness Is Hot Stuff is good for EVERYONE!
Healthcare costs are on the rise in this country —from higher costs at the physician’s office and pharmacy to the increase in per pay contributions for medical coverage! BISD and you cannot continue to absorb these costs. Therefore, we need to make a strong effort to control our claims costs by changing our basic health behavior—a change towards living a healthy lifestyle.
When we make lifestyle changes, like eating right, losing weight, exercising, and not using tobacco products, we take responsibility for our health and future well-being. All of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are too numerous to list, but the following is just a sample of what can be accomplished.
-
Lower blood pressure
-
Lower risk of heart disease
-
Help prevent type 2 diabetes
-
Increase bone strength
-
Enhance how we feel about ourselves
Our goal is to put into place a comprehensive wellness plan to encourage you and your family to lead a healthier lifestyle and at the same time help BISD control the annual cost increases for our group medical plan insurance. This will be a long-term project, but it is worth it … and we’ve made it easy to participate in all that your BISD employee wellness program has to offer at NO personal cost to you! Together we can do it!
Program Overview
