"Botsford's staff told
me some things I
didn't want to hear,
but needed to hear."

0

ur parent company, Kawasaki Motors in California, started a worksite
program based on Japan's concept of wellness and concern for employees'
welfare. As Senior Manager at Kawasaki Robotics, I felt that our
company would benefit from the Worksite Program at Botsford Center for
Health Improvement because of their wellness philosophy.

We participated in three programs: Health Risk Appraisal, Microfit and Body
Fat Analysis. In addition, we learned about nutrition and how to manage
stress at a lunchtime lecture series.

The professional staff at Botsford Center for Health Improvement treated us
all as individuals — not like a production line. Because I'm a runner, I thought
I was in pretty good shape. But they told me some things I didn't
want to hear, but needed to hear. One of the things I'm more
aware of now is keeping my cholesterol in check.

I think our company would also benefit from Botsford's
Cardiac Risk Assessment Program. I'm hoping that the Worksite
Wellness Program will become an annual event at Kawasaki
Robotics.
