Offer a Health Fair for your employees

In today’s work environment, employers are constantly looking for ways to reduce health care expenses and improve the general welfare of their employees.

A cost-effective and fun way to do this is to conduct employee wellness events, colloquially known as Health Fairs. These events allow the company to gather valuable health and demographic information for disease prevention, to educate employees, and to help them recognize and manage their own health issues.

“A company wellness fair is a great way to introduce wellness initiatives, alert employees to their own health risks and show that you care about employee health,” said Jennifer Carmack, Director of Physicians Quality Care OCCMed.

Health fairs have other benefits, such as providing an opportunity for flu shots or offering demonstrations on how to lift properly or even prepare a healthy meal.

A well-run health fair could have “stations” or booths on a variety of topics, offer demonstrations and include outside vendors, such as the American Red Cross.

“We’ll help you customize your company’s health fair to fit your needs,” said Carmack.

In conjunction with your individualized health Fair, Physicians Quality Care OCCMed, in compliance with HIPAA and privacy regulations, will compile your employees’ health information into a generalized corporate health report to allow you to identify and manage health problems within your organization.
