North Kingstown’s Dominion Diagnostics LLC, which offers drug testing, prescription monitoring and blood-testing services, supports a healthy lifestyle for clients. In 2015, it increased its focus on the wellness of its employees as well, reinventing its health and wellness program.

“We have a responsibility in the community and with our employees to support comprehensive wellness initiatives and promote healthy lifestyles,” said CEO Robert M. Garvey Jr.

The new program, ACHIEVE – which stands for Actively Create Helpful Improvements Earning Value and Energy – has its own logo, email address, Twitter feed, promotional T-shirts and planned events.

The outcomes-based program already has had success. This year, the company reported, 68 employees received biometric screenings, 48 received flu vaccinations and 75 visited an on-site wellness fair. In addition, employees donated enough blood to save 24 lives. •
