Tangerine Wellness, A Company That Does Good

Tangerine Wellness is the leading corporate weight management program that helps companies lower healthcare costs by rewarding employees that achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

According to the Department of Health & Human Services, the majority of Americans are overweight or obese, and obesity is America's #1 health problem.

Obese individuals have 30 to 50% more chronic medical problems than those who smoke or drink heavily. They have increased risks for type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer, gallbladder disease, and other ailments. The effects of obesity are similar to 20 years of aging!

Tangerine has successfully completed dozens of implementations in over 25 states for manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, education, and government organizations. Tangerine has consistently produced over 2% of weight loss per program period with 60 to 80% employee participation. Additionally, Tangerine has generated significant body mass index (BMI) classification improvement, which translates into direct healthcare savings. Clients have seen as much as a 10% reduction in healthcare costs and a 5x return on investment annually.
