McDougall Healthy Employee Immersion Program
The average total healthcare costs per employee are expected
to reach $11,664 in 2012, up from $10,982 in 2011. In response
to these escalating costs, 43% of employers now provide
incentives to encourage participation in "biometric screenings"
(checking blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, tobacco use,
etc.), and 30% offer incentives to engage in healthy lifestyle
activities in the workplace.
At the core of a healthier workforce are educational
opportunities that employees need in order to lead healthy and
productive lives. The McDougall Immersion Live-in Programs have
been accomplishing these goals, and much more, for more than two
decades.
Documented 44% Reduction of Healthcare Costs
The McDougall Program provides an opportunity to cut
healthcare costs in half for your company, improving its
underlying strengths and overall profitability in this highly
competitive world. Between 1999 and 2001, I ran the McDougall
Immersion Program for three separate groups of employees at Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota. During this time we studied the
participants and documented a reduction in body weight (17%),
blood pressure, and cholesterol (8%) levels over a one-year
period. Medication usage was reduced and/or eliminated. The
medical benefits achieved can be described as no less than
miracles. Based on the health claims data of Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, we documented an average reduction in costs of 44% for
each of the three groups.
Publix Supermarkets of the southeast have also run the
McDougall Program for selected employees with similar health
benefits.
Two years ago we began McDougall Immersion Programs for the
employees of Whole Foods Markets. At our recent Advanced Study
Weekend (February 17–19, 2012) John Mackey, the co-founder and
CEO of this highly successful supermarket chain, reported
substantial savings for his company from the McDougall
Immersion, and various other programs, designed to change the
diets of their employees. He predicted that because of this
success, acceptance of similar programs would soon ripple across
the world.
Now is the time and here is an opportunity to help your
company to greatness.
