A Life Saving Experience with Employee
Wellness Plans
Joe Pellegrini cycles 36 miles a day to and from work and is solid muscle. He Never dreamed he would become the topic of workplace wellness in the February 26, 2007 issue of Business Week.
Mr. Pellegrini is an executive working at Scotts Miracle-Gro's headquarters in Marysville, Ohio. The $2.7 billion dollar employer gave employees the choice of taking screening tests and participating in the wellness program, or losing a significant portion of the employer's contribution toward medical insurance.
Mr. Pellegrini's health score came back as "At Risk" due to a bad cholesterol score. Mr. Pellegrini was contacted by awellness adviser who persuaded the athletic Mr. Pellegrini to undergo more extensive diagnostic tests.
The results were shocking! A 95 percent blockage in two arteries gave him less than a week to live. Within hours of the diagnosis, two life-saving stents were inserted.
The fact that this almost certainly would not have happened without his employer's wellness program made Mr. Pellegrini a national celebrity.
