LAST WEEK'S PROGRAM ~ Prevea

Guests: -- We had several, but, we STILL ARE NOT GETTING THIS INFORMATION RECORDED AT CHECK IN!! Membership cannot do follow up without this information. PLEASE make sure your guest is registered!

UPDATES: Options to replace District Packer raffle being explored to fund our scholarships. Plan to be at EB Christmas celebration at Lakeland -- details coming. Steve Roelse membership application accepted by board - now waiting for any feedback from members.

PROGRAM: Kelly Boeldt of Prevea gave a very interesting presentation about the future of health care. Statistics such as by 2015 1 in 4 people will be obese in Wiscon and 1 in 3 will have diabetes starts to shed some new light on how important preventive health care options will become. The number of people using the emergency room for primary care continues to climb which continues to drive up health care costs. 93% of ER visits are NOT emergencies. Employers are being encouraged to do interventive medical programming that includes education and physical activities. "Urgent care" facilities are becoming available as a more cost effective measure. Prevea has an open house at the Taylor Drive location coming up October 25th, 4-7pm.
