The latest article written by Nola News covers the life-transforming impact Dr. Tro’s Medical Weight Loss Employee Wellness Program had on Laitram and Intralox employees.

 

With a mission to reverse type 2 diabetes and obesity in as many people as possible, Dr. Kalayjian, board-certified obesity medicine physician and founder/Chief Medical Officer of Toward Health notes “We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with organizations who are at the forefront of employee wellness and have a genuine care to empower and improve the lives of their employees.” He goes on to emphasize “we are hopeful that more companies will start realizing the direct correlation a strong wellness program can have on the overall health of their organization. Our program is a win-win-win scenario, where the patient’s goals, corporate goals and our practice’s goals are aligned.”

 

The benefits of a physician-led employee wellness program far exceed reductions in healthcare costs. “I would say (drug cost savings) are small compared to the benefits you get from the people whose lives change and their productivity is very different,” said Lapeyre.“ The track they’re on changes pretty dramatically.”
