We've all mastered the drill:
- Practice social distancing.
- Wash your hands.
- Quarantine, shelter in place or self isolate.
OptiMed is adding another weapon to the arsenal deployed in the battle against COVID-19 – expert assistance in eating healthfully and exercising effectively, thus boosting the immunological fortress protecting against this viral invader.
WorkPlace Wellness is an employee health program designed by Kelly Springer, MS, RD, CDN, as part of her Kelly’s Choice Nutritional Company. Kelly has appeared on Good Morning America, and broadcasts aired on Fox, ABC, PBS and numerous local telecasts and her views are frequently cited in magazines such as Men’s Health and Shape.
Offered in two levels, the Five Star WorkPlace Wellness program is now included with OptiMed’s value-added non-insurance benefits package.
This means that the program is free to group members and their dependents.
