• “Almost 80% of the working population have at least one chronic condition.”
• “55% of workers have more than one chronic condition.
• Seven of the most common chronic conditions alone accounted for $1 trillion in lost productivity in 2003.
• This amount could pay for 20 million jobs at a salary level of $50,000 per year (as of June 2010, 14.6 million Americans were unemployed).
• “Not surprisingly, chronic diseases have become the leading cause of death and disability in the United States.”

  • Hospital admissions declined by 63%
  • Disability costs reduced by 34%
  • Incidence of injury declined by 25%
• “Workplace physical activity programs can reduce sick leave by up to 32% and increase productivity by up to 52%.” [2]
• Spending just $10 per person per year on chronic disease prevention programs would save the U.S. more than $16 billion within 5 years. [1]
• For every dollar spent on proven prevention programs, the U.S. health care system would save $0.96 in the first two years, $5.60 after 5 years, and $6.20 after 10-20 years. [1]
• The Wellness Councils of America reported a $24 return for every $1 spent on a company wellness program for small businesses.
