Events/Initiatives Outcomes:

1^st,2^nd & 3^rd Quarter - Know Your Numbers:

1st Quarter= 57 participants was the initial calculation of Know Your Numbers for 2010; Total new and returning participants for 1st & 2nd qtr = 45. Fifteen individuals returned in the 2^nd quarter from 1^st quarter.  The participant's results showed improvement in body mass index, weight, blood pressures and resting heart rate when compared to 1^st quarter. 

Total new and returning participants for the 3^rd qtr = 37.  Again 15 participants have returned. 

Remember, if you can’t make the next quarterly scheduled dates (Oct 4-7), you can monitor your numbers anytime by stopping in the Touring Medical department.

 For any employee on leave of absence on or after July 1, 2010 WageWorks will begin to bill the employees monthly for premiums due. Employees who are currently on a leave effective July 1, WageWorks will send a letter to your home advising you of the new billing process and instructing you to be on the lookout for the mailing from WageWorks. Employees have the responsibility to pay this premium so you can keep your coverage active.
