The Need for Wellness Programs • According to the American Institute for Preventative Medicine, expenditures for health care in the United States continue to rise and reached $2.2 trillion or 16% of GDP in 2009. This figure is up from $1.3 trillion in 2003. Further, health care spending is growing faster than the gross domestic product (GDP) and accounted for 17.7 percent of GDP in 2012, up from 14.1 percent in 2001. • A small number of chronic disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease account for the majority of deaths each year, and the medical care costs of people with chronic diseases account for more than 75 percent of the nation’s medical care costs. The impact on business is substantial. The costs to U.S. businesses of obesity related problems in 1994 added up to almost $13 billion, with approximately $8 billion of this paying for health insurance expenditures, $2.4 billion for sick leave, $1.8 billion for life insurance, and close to 1 billion for disability insurance.

Narrow interventions simply aren’t sufficient anymore.
