A&D Medical A&D Medical Takes Its Own Medicine

Companies large and small are vigorously searching for ways to reduce their healthcare insurance premiums. When faced with rising costs or making severe cuts companies want another option. Enter Worksite Wellness. It empowers employers to take charge in the battle to reduce their own healthcare costs. By implementing internal programs promoting good health, employers can direct key behavioral changes in their workforce. The end result being healthier employees that require less medical coverage. A key player in the Worksite Wellness effort is A&D Medical. They are providing employers the monitoring tools and infrastructure to build successful programs. A&D Medical is the leader in connected diagnostic devices, acting as the engine for tracking, storing and sending vital health statistics. It only makes sense that they would implement their own robust Worksite Wellness program for their employees.

steps, just focusing on wellness topics every month. So even back then, we felt the need to educate our associates on health care, both their own, and the impact it has on costs.  But bottom line is that A&D is committed to the health and wellness program as a way to improve an associate's health and hopefully limit dramatic increases in health insurance costs." Those monthly focuses included everything from promoting mental sharpness, reducing stress, Diabetes education, cardiovascular exercise and cholesterol awareness. The program is defined by education, activity and rewards.

Over a year ago A&D Medical launched its own activity club, utilizing its Wireless Activity Monitors. "Associates are participating in the AND activity club and having some nice competition..." added Mar. Through partners like FitLinxx, Inc., A&D Medical has created ways of motivating, tracking and rewarding participation. Through an easy-to-use online interface users can see if they are meeting their own goals, they can see where they compare against the guidelines established by the US Centers for Disease Control (USCDC), and most importantly they can see how they compare to their co-workers. A&D Medical sweetens the deal with awards and prizes for the leaders or most improved.

A&D Medical is implementing everything they are promoting. They want to understand what works, how to improve and reap the benefits.
