Dear Company Name Employees,

Is your health important to you? It’s important to us. We recognize that (company name) most valuable resource is its employees, and that the health and wellness of our employees has a direct impact upon the continued success of our organization. For years (company name) has demonstrated a commitment to wellness through our many health and safety offerings such as (list events employees are familiar with).

This year we are taking our commitment to wellness even further by initiating a Wellness Partnership with AmeriHealth. This partnership will enable us to expand our programming, provide greater opportunity for employees to engage in health and wellness programs, and deliver targeted screening and education programs directly to the workplace.

According to recent WELCOA reports, 70% of the associated costs of illness in this country are preventable. Americans on the whole are eating more, moving less, and more stressed than ever before. The statistics are overwhelming:

• 60% of American adults do not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity, and over 25% report no leisure time physical activity at all.

• 61% of the American adult population are either obese or overweight.

• 72% percent of Americans experience frequent stress-related physical or mental conditions.

To address these growing health concerns and keep all (company name) employees in the best health possible, we will be bringing you a year full of new and interactive programs designed to keep you healthy and informed. Throughout the year you will have the opportunity to take part in several educational initiatives beginning with a confidential Personal Health Profile. This Profile will provide you with personalized guidance for achieving your own health needs and goals, and will serve as a basis for future program planning. You can also look forward to a variety of behavior change programs designed to help employees quit smoking, lose weight, and reduce fatigue, as well as routine screening programs to identify potential risks for America’s top killers, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
