Employer Insurance Survey
In partnership with the Greenville Forward, United Way of Greenville, Greenville Hospital System, and Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, the Greenville Chamber is helping to conduct a study of the status of health of Greenvillians. We are interested in how well residents are being served, and the quality of life here, especially regarding health matters.
As part of this effort, we are conducting a survey among Greenville businesses to learn more about the challenges in creating a well and healthy workforce. We need your opinions so we can develop programs to help your business save money and create a healthier workforce. Your answers are strictly confidential and anonymous and you don't have to answer any questions you don't want to. The survey should take less than 10 minutes. Thank you for helping us improve health, wellness, and healthcare access in Greenville County.
If you have questions about the survey, call or email Russell Stall at 864.233.8443. If you would like to receive a copy of the results of the study after it is completed, please send an email to Russell requesting it. Thanks in advance for your help.

BEST Tip of the Week: Did you know that for a few dollars you can reduce the amount of water that flows out of your faucets by 30%? Most faucets come equipped with aerators that produce 2.2 gallons per minute. You can purchase a replacement aerator that will reduce the water flow rate of your faucets to 1.5 gallons per minute or less. To find out the water flow rate of your faucet, read the imprinted numbers on the screw-on tip of the faucet. Learn more water saving tips at FurmanBEST.biz.
