News & Events

With over 50% of illness and death related to our lifestyle – what we eat, if we smoke, how we handle stress, if we exercise, the challenge is to stay focused on the future while creating an awareness of better health now, one step at a time.

Corporate Wellness Days

One of Wellness’s goals is to provide a receptive environment and support for positive health and well-being. A worksite wellness day gives our members the information and motivation they need to modify their lifestyles. We make a team of specialists available to our members at their place of work, where they can benefit from the likes of:

• Wellness ACTIVE a comprehensive health and fitness assessment.
• Eye Screening

• Cholesterol tests
• Blood glucose tests
• Blood pressure measurements
