In our continuous effort to offer a comprehensive occupational medicine program, Macon Occupational Medicine is introducing a Health Promotion Program for industry in Central Georgia. The goal of this program is to create a healthier lifestyle, workplace and to prevent injuries. Now that Americans are working more and more, the workplace would be the ideal place to address health and wellness issues.

The Health Promotion Program has two-phases which consist of a Health Risk Assessment and Health Education Seminars.

The Health Risk Assessment (HRA) will give an overall evaluation of the employee’s health status so that we can measure their current health results with future HRA results. Our objectives with the HRA are to diagnose potential harmful health illnesses and inform the employee of their health status so that measures can be taken to prevent chronic illness.

The Health Education Seminars will provide information on various diseases/illnesses and encourage the employees to practice a healthier lifestyle and disease prevention activities. A professional health care provider will conduct seminars on the following topics:

Asthma Diabetes

Blood Pressure Heart Disease

Cancer Awareness Lung Disease

Cholesterol

Upon completing the two-phase program, we feel your employees will be aware and educated on a variety of health issues and we hope they will make better lifestyle choices.

Not only will your employees benefit from the program, but also studies have shown that companies have received benefits from a Health Promotion Program.

The benefits include:

Improve morale
Reducing turnover
Increasing recruitment potential
Reducing absenteeism
Containing health care cost
Increase productivity
