Abbott

One of the most important things we can do for working families today is to help them lead healthier lives. We offer our U.S. employees (and their spouses) a discount on their health-care costs in exchange for taking a brief, confidential, online health risk assessment. Plus, we offer employees access to a coach to help achieve improvements. That improves the health of our bottom line as well.

Miles D. White

Chairman & CEO, Abbott
