Turn Good Health into Wealth
Business owners nationwide agree; the health of your employees
influences your company’s bottom line.
When your team feels good, they’re more productive,
making your company more profitable. If your staff is not
feeling well, productivity slips, deadlines are missed, customers
become frustrated, targeted goals are off target and revenue
is reduced. That’s why CEOs across the United States
recognize the necessity for worksite health promotion. To
learn more about worksite health promotion go to www.prevent.org
and read “Leading by Example,” a report by CEOs
for CEOs regarding the paradigm shift from the “cost
of health care to the total value of health.”

(PORTLAND, OR) – August 9, 2006 –
The Vermont Automobile Dealers Association (VADA) is a statewide
trade association representing new and used car dealers in
the Green Mountain state. Founded more than 60 years ago,
it represents 171 business members, and VADA-sponsored health
insurance covers some 2300 employees.
In 2004, healthcare spending in the state was
estimated at $3.0 billion for the year. At about the same
time, a naturopathic physician, Bernie Noe, ND and VADA found
themselves on opposite sides of a state healthcare bill, with
Noe arguing the measure would not raise costs, and industry
executives claiming it would. After lawmakers adjourned, VADA
hired Noe to develop and implement an employee wellness program
and test his theory. Noe has demonstrated, and VADA agrees,
that the clinical and economic benefits of workplace interventions
using a naturopath can be significant.
