Worksite Wellness (Working Well); Success Stories
Working Well : "I really enjoyed having this serviced offered to us through the town. A few years ago I went to the screening and learned I was at high risk for heart disease. I never would have found out if not for the screening, because I never go to the doctor's. I have lost 40 pounds, exercise regularly and feel great!" - Goffstown
"I had the osteoporosis screening done at my company this spring. Based on the results, I was able to convince my doctor to order a bone density test for me. (He didn't think I needed to have any bone density work done when I had my physical in February.) The bone density test showed that I have osteoporosis in my spine and osteopenia in my hip. Because of this advance testing I can now take the measures needed to prevent these diseases from getting any worse. P.S. I have more incentive now than ever to start my walking program!" -Concord
Worksite Wellness “Here at Oracle Corporation's New England Development Center, the Working Well Program personnel have helped us develop a complete wellness program from the ‘ground up'. We look at programs like these as crucial in recruiting and retaining the most talented people to handle a regularly stressful and fast-paced environment of the network computing world.” – Jay Feenan, Oracle NEDC Fitness Committee Chair
“I've experienced lower back problems for many years due to arthritis in my spine. Since becoming a member of the Senior Fitness Center, the aggravating pain I once had has diminished greatly. I will continue my program at the Senior Health Center to also improve my cardiovascular health. Plus, I have lost 20 pounds!”
