Local business helps employees stay on a path to wellness


Cary, Ill. (PRWEB) April 28, 2016

Illinois Blower, Inc. took advantage of Centegra Health System’s corporate wellness program Tuesday to encourage its employees to stay ahead of illnesses and disease. Employees received onsite preventive medical exams and lab tests, all at their place of employment.

“We realize it is tough for our employees to find time to visit a doctor and stay on top of their health,” said Kelly Jorgenson, human resources director at Illinois Blower, Inc. “This program brings a doctor right to our employees. In addition, as a business, our medical premiums have been dramatically rising, which increases the cost to employees and to our organization. This program will reduce medical expenses for everyone.”
Centegra brought its mobile health unit to Illinois Blower, Inc. with Centegra Physician Care’s Dr. Jonathan Huang, who gave each employee who elected to participate a physical and discussed the results of blood tests performed onsite a week earlier.

“Centegra is all about community-based health,” said Matt Carlen, vice president of Centegra Physician Care. “Our corporate health program is yet another way we can make it easier for our community members to conveniently access the care they need.”
