WHAT IS WELL-AHEAD?
Louisiana is internationally renowned for its music, culture, cuisine and celebrations held throughout the state each year. Unfortunately, Louisiana is also known for its unhealthy lifestyle choices that cause our residents to lead the nation in statistics for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other potentially preventable chronic diseases.
According to Well Ahead, Louisiana worksite wellness program initiative, Louisiana’s current health status comes at a tremendous cost. Besides the economic loss from obesity and chronic disease (about $28 billion per year in medical costs, sick days and reduced productivity), our overall quality of life is impacted.
