Healthier Bottom Line for Employers: TwoMedicine Health & Financial Fitness Partners with the Wyoming Department of Health to Provide Statewide Worksite Wellness for Employers

BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TwoMedicine Health & Financial Fitness is pleased to announce a recent partnership with the Wyoming Department of Health and Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program, to offer workshops and consultation across the state of Wyoming focused on helping employers promote health and wellness among workers. TwoMedicine’s Director of Client Strategies, Pete Shatwell commends the Wyoming Department of Health for taking leadership on this important initiative for employers across the state and partnering with experts who have learned best practices from years in the field with employers.

“A sound health and wellness strategy is a smart investment for any organization”

The workshops will help attendees create a plan of action, define customized evaluation steps, develop action items and walk away with a support network of peers and professionals. Upon attendance and completion of a workshop employers will have the opportunity to engage in individualized support from TwoMedicine’s professional wellness staff. “A sound health and wellness strategy is a smart investment for any organization,” said Dave Ivester, Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program manager with the Wyoming Department of Health. “We spend 1/3 to 1/2 of a 24 hour day at work - depending on the shift a person works. If you compare this simply to the hours we are awake, then the percentage of our day spent at work is even greater. This fact alone demonstrates the need for wellness interventions to happen in the workplace as well as in the home.”

TwoMedicine assists organizations across the western United States in reducing costs related to poor health through consultation and the implementation of prevention strategies. TwoMedicine helps organizations construct strategies that are built around a continuum of onsite education and training, employee and organization empowerment, targeted health-risk interventions, robust evaluation and reporting as well as integration with Mayo Clinic health information and tools. Consulting on health plan integration, incentives, wellness team training, and robust measurement systems are also critical components to TwoMedicine’s services. Clients range from governmental agencies and schools districts, higher-education institutions, hospitals, associations, and private companies from 20 to 5,000 employees.
