Connect to Wellness

Connect to Wellness™ is one of the ONLY proven employee wellness programs that is specifically tailored to organizations with 500 or fewer employees. 

Our team understands that small organizations like yours form the backbone of our economy. We also know that small organizations often get shut out of effective wellness programs — they’re too expensive and time consuming, and employers have full plates. We don’t think that’s fair – to you or your employees. That’s where we come in. 

Connect to Wellness™ exclusively focuses on the needs and capacities of small organizations. We offer proven strategies that help employees reduce stress, build resilience, get active, eat better, manage tobacco use, and more. With a focus on simplicity and flexibility, it’s easier than ever to build a wellness program that fits your needs AND your budget. 

What Makes Us Different

We help small teams thrive with a data-driven wellness program that boosts employee health. No insurance barriers, just real impact for everyone.
