Partners in Prevention at Alexian Brothers Hospital Network
Why Choose Us
Employers all over the Chicago area are benefiting
from their relationship with Partners in Prevention.
More than 75% of the 40+ eligible
employees at Countryside Industries, a company in Wauconda, IL,
participated in the PIP program. Owner
William Adelizzi says "Each of us is learning things we never knew about our
health before. Our company is aglow with
energy! We have happy, healthy people
working for us. Our customers can see
that." In addition, Countryside's health
insurance broker was able to negotiate a more favorable rate.
More successes with PIP include:
- An employer in the northwest suburbs of Chicago implemented PIP
and 52% of participating employees reduced their body mass index (BMI) by at
least one point in one year. The
organization has taken steps to improve the health of its employees by starting
weight control programs, walking programs and educational seminars.
- A smoking cessation program saved a local
hospital system $49,000 in healthcare costs, with a reduction in smoking
