Improve Employee Health and Reduce Your Medical Costs
____________________________________________________________________________

Educational Seminars by Gerard L. Guillory, M.D.

Relentless increases in healthcare costs have compelled employer groups to assign to employees greater responsibility for medical costs and decision-making. Although this shift may be inevitable, employers must take steps to help employees navigate the new world of healthcare effectively.

Perhaps the most important thing employers can do is help employees stay healthy.

Over the past few years, I have helped a number of employer groups educate their employees on simple but often-overlooked steps toward better health.

I have found that a properly designed wellness program benefits not only the

workforce, but it benefits the business as well.

Effective wellness programs help:

 > reduce demand for medical services

 > reduce absenteeism

 > boost productivity

 > and improve employee health and morale.

Additionally, such programs foster the all-important message of self-responsibility.

My colleagues and I at The Care Group provide speaking engagements designed to educate employees and motivate them to take charge of their own health. Engagements generally last one hour, with ample time at the end for questions and answers.

Our presentations are fun, engaging and interesting and include up-to-date information on health, nutrition and wellness. Our goal is to motivate your employees to make behavioral changes that improve their health status as well as your business. 

We also can provide custom programs with health screenings and one-on-one educational sessions that promote healthy lifestyles.

Monte Moses
Superintendant, Cherry Creek Schools

I invited Dr. Guillory to address all Cherry Creek administrators about his "Employer's Guide of 10 Steps to Better Health." His presentation was very informative, humorous, and motivating. He impacted our leaders in respect to their own behavior, and made them advocates of the 10 steps to better health with the people they supervise. Months after Dr. Guillory's presentation, there is still a positive "buzz" about how our employees are incorporating healthy decisions into their lifestyles. Dr. Guillory not only helped our employees individually, he has improved our organization as a whole. 

 

 Nancy G. Jackson
Human Resources Manager, Clinic Service

Dear Dr. Guillory,
Thank you for coming to our office to share your exceptional presentation of the "Ten Steps to Better Health." Our employees thoroughly enjoyed learning from you and felt that the information you gave was easy to understand and very helpful in improving their lives. We've already had many employees ask to have you come back for another presentation! At Clinic Service, we have just started to bring health and wellness initiatives to our employees. This presentation couldn’t have been more relevant and timely. We appreciate the time you took to educate us. Your fun style and in-depth knowledge made the entire presentation enjoyable and interesting. We hope to have you back again soon!  

  

Cliff Van Leuven
VP Customer Service, Frontier Airlines

I recently attended the "Ten Steps to Better Health" seminar and - in the airline business, in this economy - it was time very well spent. The opportunity to step away from the daily stresses in order to focus time on our health and the health of co-workers, families and friends, was invaluable. Dr. Guillory clearly cares deeply about the topic and the audience. He's incredibly knowledgeable, talented and humorous as a presenter. He's one of a kind, and so is the subject matter.

 

Nancy J. Edmonson
Meeting Chairman, Insurance Women of Denver

Gerard Guillory, M.D., was the keynote speaker at our recent Colorado Council annual meeting. His presentation, Ten Steps to Better Health, was so informative and helpful that it already has led many members to take steps to improve their own health.
As women who work in the highly stressful insurance business, we are all aware of the need to lead healthier lives. Dr. Guillory's presentation provided straightforward, easy-to-implement steps toward that objective. His suggestions include adding probiotics and nutritional supplements to the diet; avoiding foods that contain trans fats, aspartame and monosodium glutamate; and reducing inflammation, which can help delay or even reverse the aging process.
Our hope is that those who attended the presentation will pass Dr. Guillory's message to those who didn't attend. Much of the information presented by Dr. Guillory also appears in news and educational articles that appear on his Website, thecaregrouppc.com.
Thank you, Dr. Guillory, for the inspiration and knowledge you have given us.

A & I Financial Services LLC invited Dr. Guillory to give a seminar, 10 Steps to Better Health, to a group of clients in October 2008. Dr. Guillory's presentation was engaging and informative. In fact, we received positive feedback from the participants, across the board. Many folks were excited to try his advice and requested more information. Dr. Guillory's committment to improving health and helping people feel their best sets him apart! 
Thank you again for sharing your time and expertise with us. We appreciate it!

 

Chris Noonan
Group Chairman, Vistage International

Dr. Guillory addressed our Vistage Chief Executive Officer peer group in Denver, Colorado, offering his "10 Steps to Better Health." It was so well received that the CEOs took the message to their companies and their families. The message resonated with all and they are still speaking about its impact on them today.  His message is well delivered, easily understood and importantly obvious in today's stressful world of CEOs and their companies.

The members of the Rocky Mountain Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates wish to thank you for the excellent presentation, "Ten Steps to Better Health," that you made at our Oct. 18 meeting in Denver. The response was so enthusiastic that we would like to ask you to return to speak at our fall 2009 conference.  We ask our members to rate speakers who appear at our biannual conferences, and your scores were among the highest possible. Here are some of the written comments made by nurses who attended the event, for which they received Continuing Medical Education credit: "Excellent"; "Awesome"; "Just wonderful, full of great info"; "Great sense of humor"; "Super talk, very helpful"; and "Excellent, have him back." Many nurses said they found the segment regarding probiotics particularly helpful.
We look forward to seeing you in 2009. Thank you.

Thank you for speaking to employees of the Bonfils Blood Center at our annual health fair in October. Your presentation, "Ten Steps to Better Health," was very well received by all of the employees who were able to attend. We definitely would recommend the presentation to other employer groups that wish to help improve the health and wellness of their employees. 
We hope to invite you back to the blood center in the future, so that more of our employees can hear the presentation and ask questions about health-related concerns. Meanwhile, we have posted a recording of the presentation on our intranet. Thank you for helping us help our employees.
