One word that describes Tufts Health Plan’s Wellness Program is “inclusive,” says Jennifer Mangiaratti, senior manager of benefits and wellness.

“Our medical clinicians, wellness coach and fitness center staff work together to develop our robust annual plan, which encompasses all the ongoing activities, challenges and incentive programs to be held in a given calendar year,” she said. “This approach offers employees a holistic, well-rounded way to positively improve their overall health.”

The program provides incentive programs that incorporate more than one service. It also offers on-site and remote offerings for all employees – from younger adults to those over the age of 65 and for people with a variety of physical disabilities – for their physical, mental or emotional health needs.

The positive outcomes of the wellness program are vast. With a more than 95% participation rate, Tufts employees have reported an increased energy level, improved body mass index, and they are embracing healthy lifestyle options.
