• Reduce Risk
• Prevent Disease

3. National Facts
Chronic disease is the leading cause of direct health
care costs. Researchers estimate 75 percent of all health
care costs stem directly from preventable chronic
health conditions. Yet only 1 percent of the $1.9 trillion
dollars spent on health care in the United States goes
to protecting health and preventing illness and injury.
Our Be Well Program works to change this by
emphasizing prevention, early detection, treatment and
employee incentives.

4. Healthcare Facts
• Annual healthcare spending has increased from $75
billion in 1970 to $2 trillion creating a critical issue for
individuals and corporations
• Healthcare expenditures are increasing at a rising rate of
8-14% annually
• Chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity
account for 75 percent of health costs
• Recent study of Fortune 500 CEOs indicates that concerns
about employee health and the resulting impact on costs and
productivity far outweigh concerns about litigation, labor,

over day-to-day business challenges
