ACMC WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAM
Ashtabula County Medical Center is committed to improving the health
and wellness of the community. The ACMC Workplace Wellness program
allows us to work directly with businesses to create individualized
employee wellness programs that not only improve the health of staff,
but also improve the organization’s bottom line by reducing health care
costs and increasing productivity.
How healthy are your most important assets?
Your employees are your greatest assets. They also reflect your business’s greatest expense in the form of salaries and benefits. You
can protect that asset – and reduce expenses – by investing in employee health and wellness initiatives. One of the largest benefit
costs absorbed by companies and organizations is healthcare.
Lifestyle factors, including smoking, poor nutrition habits, and physical inactivity increase the burden of chronic disease. Poor lifestyle
choices lead to costly medical intervention to treat what are often avoidable illnesses.
The best way to reduce healthcare costs is to improve the health of your employees – and long-term lifestyle changes are key to
making that happen.

If you are a woman age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms
and how often to get them. If you are a woman age 50 to 74, be sure to get a mammogram every 2
years. You may also choose to get them more often.

FRIGHTENINGLY FATTENING FALL FOODS
Potpie Perils: When fall arrives, many of us turn to hearty foods, like creamy chicken potpie. One pie from the grocery
freezer case can have more than 1,000 calories. For a fraction of the calories, try a flavorful roast chicken breast and a
warm, whole wheat roll.
Game-Day Grub: Favorites like chips, nachos, pizza, wings, and ribs can spoil your diet. If you’re a sports fan,
you may also be glued to the couch for hours every week, so you’re not burning off the extra calories.
•Serve veggies and low-fat dip as part of your spread.
•Eat from a plate instead of grazing at the buffet. This helps you keep track of how much you’re eating.
Halloween Candy: October brings bags of candy home to await trick-or-treaters. It’s easy to get bewitched by those
bite-size candies. But few of us can have just one.
•Stash sweets out of sight.
•Satisfy your midday hunger pangs with something nutritious, like fruit.
•If you crave something sweet, chew a piece of sugarless gum.
Chubby Chili: You could get 500 calories in a bowl, depending on the recipe. The same goes for other meaty stews, which
are often loaded with fatty beef or sausage and topped with gobs of cheese. Yet, chili and stew can be good choices when
made right. Use small portions of lean meat, plenty of beans, vegetables, and spices, and just a sprinkle of low-fat cheese.
In restaurants, check the calorie count before ordering.
All Things in Moderation: All it takes is an extra 100 calories per day to pack on 10 pounds a year. The best strategy for
your health is to avoid weight creep altogether by enjoying fall comfort foods in moderation.
•Check your portion sizes.
•Limit alcohol.
•Eat plenty of veggies prepared without added fat or sugar.
•Use low-fat cooking techniques and substitutions.
•Put candy bowls out of sight.
