MANITOWOC, Wis., and CHICAGO, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Holy Family Memorial Wellness Center (HFM), a medically-based fitness facility in Manitowoc, WI, and Destiny Health, a Chicago-based provider of wellness-based health insurance, today announced a partnership that will offer members of The Destiny Health Empowerment Plan(TM) dues subsidies and discounted membership perks at HFM.
Under the partnership, plan members who regularly exercise at HFM will receive a subsidy from Destiny Health on monthly membership dues based upon the member’s level of engagement in Vitality, a wellness program that’s fully integrated into the health plan. With each workout, Destiny Health Empowerment Plan members can earn Vitality Bucks(TM) that will help enable them to achieve their wellness goals and earn rewards in the form of vacation packages, name brand merchandise such as iPod, Sony, Cuisinart and an array of other products.
Additionally, HFM members may take advantage of two free, comprehensive personal health assessments a year that include screenings for cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose levels, blood pressure, heart rate, strength, flexibility and other fitness-related tests. These health assessments will not only help members of the health plan earn Vitality Bucks; they’re also designed to ensure that members are constantly aware of their health status, which would enable them to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“Destiny Health is happy to team up with Holy Family Memorial Wellness Center to offer additional membership advantages to the residents of Manitowoc,” said Destiny Health President and CEO, Arthur C. Carlos. “Our focus on wellness and our efforts in enabling members to achieve a healthy lifestyle is a core differentiator of The Destiny Health Empowerment Plan from the other health plans.
