2024-03-26

BETHESDA, Md., March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sworkit Health, in collaboration with Select Health and facilitated by a strategic relationship with Virgin Pulse, now Personify Health, announces an innovative wellness program designed to encourage health plan and hospital employees to meet the CDC's recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly. This relationship underscores a commitment to enhancing the health and well-being of Intermountain Health caregivers and Select Health members by promoting physical fitness and overall health outcomes.

Central to this program is an unprecedented incentive mechanism that rewards employees and members for adhering to the CDC's exercise guidelines. This initiative has led to a remarkable achievement: a 50% engagement rate among Intermountain Health employees, doubling the participation compared to non-incentivized programs.
