Employee Testimonial
“I talk to my health coach at least once a month because she gives me a lot of insight about my health. I call her when I need a pep talk. I use her like a therapist."

Reducing Costs and Improving Employee Health
Through an Incentive-Based Wellness Program
Learn how incentive-based wellness programs pay off, not just for the employer, but for the employee too.
Optima Health, in partnership with Sentara Healthcare, implemented an innovative incentive-based health and wellness program for its 11,200 benefit-eligible employees. The program, called Mission: Health, has saved Sentara Healthcare $3.4 million in healthcare costs, representing $6 saved for every $1 invested in the program. Over the past two years, health indicators for participating employees have improved significantly.
Employers can use Mission: Health as an effective model and partner with Optima Health to achieve dramatic results. The resources on this site provide additional information about the program results, as well as how to implement an incentive-based wellness program in both large and small employer environments.
