WHEN OUR TEAM IS
WELL, WE ALL DO
BETTER TOGETHER
Reshaping Your Total Well-Being for 2017
Why “Fit for the Future?”
When Larry Miller passed away in 2009 from complications
due to Diabetes, we suffered a tremendous personal and
business loss. Gail and the family wanted our Company to
create a wellness initiative that would transcend this tragedy
into a positive, educational environment that would enrich
the lives of others. And so we began our journey into teaching
about Metabolic Syndrome—that’s knowing and keeping
your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and waist/body
circumference within appropriate medical ranges. In addition
to lifestyle factors, we know that Metabolic Syndrome has a
direct impact on diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Also, Fit
for the Future focused on the need for you and family members
to have a relationship with a primary care physician and have
regular checkups to ensure your health is on the right track.
“Everything you do is
directly affected by your
health, and your health directly
affects everything you do. When you
are healthy, you think better, you work
better, you have a better home life, and you
have better relationships. You have more time to
do the things you love.“
—Gail Miller
What’s Coming in 2017?
How It Works
Fit for the Future will have a fresh and renewed focus on
well-being. Well-being is more than just staying in shape–it
means paying attention to nutrition, understanding the
importance of social interaction and mental wellness, and
it’s also about keeping good financial practices. All full-time
employees will be eligible to participate in our well-being
initiative to help you form healthy, holistic habits (and
hopefully squash a few of those habits that aren’t so positive!).
Powered by the mobile app or website of WellRight, we’ll
challenge you at your specific worksite to assess your health
and engage in group challenges with your teammates.
You are also free to design your own personal challenges.
Our health champs will continue to serve as your location’s
well-being contact, linking you to Fit for the Future initiatives
and charging you up on your journey toward well-being!
LHM-WEL-2017
Curious about the challenges coming your way? Below are just a few of the many choices WellRight will offer to the LHM team to improve
its well-being. Participants can choose from over 50 available challenges.
FAQs
Q: Do I have to participate?
A: Nobody will force you, but since you can focus on areas you
want to improve, isn’t it worth a try?
Q: What if I forget to track everything?
A: We get it, you’re human. The system reminds you to log entries
(that didn’t make it in via text message or your wearable device).
Q: I’m in great shape. How can this possibly challenge me?
A: Remember, there is something for everyone. Physical fitness
is key, but of equal importance to your well-being are nutrition,
mental health, and good financial practices.
Q: Can my boss see my health information?
A: Good question. The WellRight platform is fully HIPAA
compliant. That means all personal health data you share with
the system will never be shared with anyone at LHM.
Q: I use a FitBit to track my activity.
A: Great news! The WellRight platform integrates with most major
wearable devices and a handful of mobile fitness tracking apps.
Q: Is anything deducted from my pay for this?
A: No. The wellness program is fully sponsored by LHM.
