proving his health. As Wellness Ambassador, he frequently talks with Quest Diagnostics employees about the favorable impact that losing weight and adopting a healthier lifestyle has had on his health, family and career.

"HealthyQuest has made a considerable difference in the quality of health of our employees," said David W. Norgard, vice president, Human Resources, Quest Diagnostics. "Our comprehensive program is designed to educate, support, and, through a team of on-site volunteers, motivate employees to take control of their health and prevent health risks from escalating into serious health conditions. Our expertise as the nation's leading diagnostic testing provider uniquely positions us to implement successful wellness initiatives, both for our own employees as well as for the employees of clients of our Blueprint for Wellness risk assessment tool."

"Colleagues tell us that HealthyQuest has helped them to make important lifestyle changes, anticipate and act earlier than they may have otherwise on major medical problems, like diabetes or cancer, and halt destructive behaviors, such as poor diet or smoking," said Fred R. Williams, Quest Diagnostics director of Health Management Strategies. "Our business is seeing a positive return, and that is important for the sustainability of the program. But on most days, that benefit pales in comparison to the e-mail from an employee who describes an early intervention into colon cancer as a result of our initiative as '...my Best Christmas gift ever!' or the message that 'HealthyQuest is probably the best thing that has happened to me over the last 5 years...I'm excited about the path I am on, and thank HealthyQuest, and all my weight loss team members, for helping to keep me focused on my weight loss goals.'"
