CORPORATE WELLNESS CONSULTING 
Why have a Corporate Wellness Program??
The news is not encouraging. According to Business Week,
family health-care premiums increased 49 percent from 2000 to
2004. Another increase of 12-15 percent is expected in 2005.
General Motors expects to spend $5.6 billion on medical costs in
2005, or 40 percent more than it earned in profits in 2004.
• More and more research shows that poor diet and lack of
exercise are major drivers of increases in healthcare costs for
employers. The number of obese adults has doubled since the
1970s.
• The rise in obesity has a significant impact on health-care
costs. On average, 2002 health-care costs for an obese person
were $1,244 higher than for a person with a healthy weight.
• Obesity is causing rapid increases in type 2 diabetes and
contributes directly to a 65 percent increase in diabetes
treatment from 1987 to 2002. Almost $1 of every $5 spent on
health care in the United States is for a person with diabetes.
For every dollar spent you could save $4.
