Coffee Break Physicals

Workplace Medical Check-ups

are Sound Investments

Loyola University Health System offers employers an effective way to lower ‘presentism’ occurring when employees come to work with undertreated or possibly unrecognized medical diagnosis. One way businesses can respond is offering employees short 15 minutes ‘coffee break’ physicals, including screening tests and symptom surveys.

‘Lunch and learn’ wellness sessions about relevant health topics help empower employees to take more control over their health. Reported in Newswise, such workplace health promotion approaches help protect productivity and contain health-care costs.

Dance! Dance! Dance! (video)

Dance to Inspire... Inspire to Dance!

Eddie Uehara’s video inspires dancing with many quotes put to music and dance. “So you can’t dance? Not at all? Not even one step?”

“DANCE is music made visible.” “DANCE is silent poetry.” “DANCE is the mother of all arts.” “DANCE is the hidden language of the soul.”

Rather than watching the dance… stand up… right now… and join in!

“DANCE like nobody’s watching.”

According to Julie, “relaxing muscular tension is important to clearing away the mental ruckus and emotional debris to make room for clear thinking.” Good thought Julie!
