The health status of most working-age adults is fair – not good or bad, but somewhere in-between. This status would be better if it were not for adverse personal behaviors such as physical inactivity, smoking and poor diet. If these behaviors are not addressed, over time the health status will decline leading to precursor conditions (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, excess weight) and eventually to chronic conditions, major medical events and even premature death. This is the path to health care services – bad for the individual and for their employer and health plan. However, there is an alternative path – one that leads to good health as defined by national standards (blood pressure < 120/80, body mass index < 25, cholesterol < 200). This path involves daily management of one’s health through the use of personal health management tools that get people on and keeps them on the path to health.

In a variety of surveys, employers claim that cancer ranks as a top concern.  Managing cancer can be assessed in three general categories: Prevention; Managing Cancer when diagnosed (in the workplace or through the caregiver role); Wellness Aftercare Programs.  Learn how to support employees from early diagnosis and prevention to alleviating the stress of care coordination and treatment after a cancer diagnosis.  This presentation will present some examples of the first line of cancer defense, which is prevention and screenings, but also provide the full spectrum of care associated with CTCA as a comprehensive, fully integrated specialty cancer hospital.

1:40 -2:00 PM                 “Engaging Employees in Wellness Programs”
