Wellness

Employers participating in the Chamber health insurace program can take advantage of the Chamber's Wellness Initiative if they submitted their wellness enrollment forms in January 2012. This initiative is a partnership between the Chamber, Medical Mutual and employers to encourage wellness in the workplace with the goal of increasing productivity and potentially decreasing healthcare rates. Learn more about how unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are driving healthcare costs in America.
