12. What are the purposes of wellness programs?
The traditional view that health is dependent on medical care and is the absence of disease ischanging. Today, it is clear that optimal well-being is often achieved through environmental safety, organizational changes, and healthy lifestyles. Infectious diseases, over which a person has little control, are not the problem they once were. Chronic lifestyle diseases are much more prevalent today than ever before. The good news is that people have a great deal of control over many of them. These are diseases related to smoking, excessive stress, lack of exercise, obesity, and alcohol and drug abuse. Increased recognition of this has prompted employers to become actively involved with their employees’ health and establish wellness programs.
