Weight Watchers returns to Keene State

From Karyn Kaminski, Human Resources:

Human Resources and the President’s Commission for the Promotion of Wellness (PCPOW) is happy to announce that the “Weight Watchers at Work” program is continuing at KSC and being offered to faculty and staff.

In order for the program to run we will need at least 12 enrolled and paid participants by 7/9/10 – otherwise the program will not run for the summer, but we do plan on bringing it back again in the fall.

The cost is $99 for the series of meetings. This “At Work” program will begin July 9, 2010 and run through September 10, 2010 (there will be no meeting on 8/27 due to orientation). Meetings will be held on Fridays, 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Madison Street Lounge.

If you are interested in joining the Weight Watchers at Work” program, but were not able to attend the informational meeting on July 2, please feel free to attend the meeting tomorrow, July 9, or contact either Karen Crawford at 82487 or Karyn Kaminski at 82486. Weight Watchers does require that people have signed up and pre-paid for the classes.

If you have health insurance you may be eligible for reimbursement for this program through your provider – please contact your provider to determine any eligibility for reimbursement.

KSC employees enrolled in either the Harvard Pilgrim HMO or POS Plan are eligible for reimbursement up to $200 through the “Wellness Connection” program as long as they complete 75% of the class. Please note that if you are currently participating in the Weight Watchers At Work Program you can use any remaining HPHC Health Education dollars toward this series of meetings. Reimbursement forms can be found at Harvard Pilgrim’s site (pdf).
