Life Line Screening works with corporations across the country. Companies are eager to find ways to reduce insurance costs and provide other benefits to employees. We can help you by scheduling corporate wellness screenings!
The results of our health screenings are staggering. Of the customers screened, 8-10 percent showed some type of abnormality, while 2-3 percent were rated in the severe category and were encouraged to follow-up with their doctor on the same day as the screening.
The Cost of Disease
In the event that a catastrophic incident, such as a stroke or ruptured aneurysm occurs to one of your employees, how equipped are you to handle the subsequent losses? Automatically, there is work loss on the part of the employee, with time spent in the hospital and recovery. Employers should take into account the costs of re-training a new employee, increased insurance premiums and the loss of morale from the remaining staff who are sharing the work load of the ill person. It is easy to see the potential economic benefit from a corporate wellness program.
