Chamber member's Parkview Health and Physicians Health Plan (PHP) have linked arms in an effort to raise local health awareness. Together they have aligned with the American Heart Association Start! Program, a national movement that is asking employers and individuals to find opportunities for physical activity.
According to Jay Gilbert, President and CEO of PHP, preventable health issues cost employers an estimated $225.8 billion a year. Participating in the Start! Program is a good way to begin cutting those costs. The Start! Program offers a year round walking program, an online walking buddy system, a Fit-Friendly Companies program complete with awards, and more.
