Day to day, United Natural Foods Inc. strives to emphasize the importance of overall well-being. By partnering with Bravo Wellness, UNFI has helped its employees and their families set targeted goals for blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, tobacco use and other health risks. Associates must then meet those parameters to earn wellness points, which can ultimately result in credits to their medical-plan premiums.

As a result, participants have lost a collective 15,130 pounds, and more than 30 percent who were formerly identified as obese are now reporting healthier BMIs.

Going forward, UNFI will provide additional resources to help employees achieve lifelong health.

“We plan to increase utilization of our wellness portal and offer health care coaching to assist in making permanent lifestyle changes,” said Senior Benefits Analyst Melissa Hatch. •
