A Competitive Workforce Begins With Good Health

At St. John's Corporate Health and Wellness, we know that Healthy Employees Create a Healthy Bottom Line. But in Missouri, more than one in five adults are obese, and more than half of adults are overweight, which can lead to obesity.

Obesity is a contributing factor in some of the most devastating and disabling diseases – diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and several types of cancer. It's also a leading cause of preventable death in the United States.

The bottom line: excess weight means an increase in the risk of early death.

It is also expensive. Obesity costs Missouri thousands of lives and well over a billion dollars every year. On an average, obese adults (18 to 65 years of age) spend 36 percent more on medical expenses annually compared with those of normal weight*.

So where do we go from here?

To help your company promote healthy weight management among your employees, we are offering a Weight Loss Challenge for up to 50 employees for 3 months, free of charge! Individuals enter on behalf of their company. If you win, we will administer the Weight Loss Challenge on-site at your company.

That’s a $450 value!

Here’s How it Works

Your Corporate Weight Loss Challenge includes:

  • On-site preliminary weigh-in with our equipment and a St. John’s wellness coordinator
  • 5-10 min. of personal wellness coaching for each participant
  • Printed educational materials (on weight loss) for each participant
  • Monthly e-mail reminders/education for participants
  • Mid point on-site weigh in (6 weeks) with our equipment and a St. John’s wellness coordinator
  • Final on-site weigh in (3 months) with our equipment and a St. John’s wellness coordinator
