King County has created many resources to support employees in taking control of their health. Seventy-five percent of high-risk participants participating in the program have reported improving or eliminating one or more risk factors (i.e. being overweight, smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, etc.). The typical rate is 60 percent.
These health improvements can be attributed to the coaching calls that are part of the Healthy Incentives program, and the tools King County has created to support employees in improving their health.
