An Industry First: New Cooper Health Company Makes Group Employee Benefits Consulting and Wellness Program Design a Package Deal
Date:10/26/2007

ssments, on-site health fairs, educational seminars, smoking and weight management interventions, interactive Web tools, health information, and participation in Cooper Clinic's executive physical exam program.

In 1996, the U.S. spent $100 billion on health care. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. is projected to spend over $2.2 trillion on health care in 2007, or just under $7,500 per U.S. resident. More than 70 percent of chronic disease costs and death are caused by our lifestyles. Statistics show that healthy employees are up to twice as productive as unhealthy employees.

According to Wellness Council of America's 2006 survey, 91 percent of employers are pushing more of the cost of health care to their employees. Eighty-five percent of responding companies reported that they do not have the time or money to implement a robust wellness program.

Moreno added, "One of the main drivers of health insurance costs for an employer is the health of its employees. The only way to save companies and employees money is by improving individual health. Plus, the corporate community is expected to provide competitive benefits for their employees by offering wellness programs. Cooper Benefits can help make that happen."

Cooper Aerobics Enterprises is not disclosing the financials of the acquisition due to it being a privately-held company.
