MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- flexSCAN, Inc. (OTCBB:FXSC) today announced an agreement that will bring health360(tm) health and wellness services to 300 employees and dependents of the City of Murrieta in Southern California. health360(tm) offers a wide range of services including disease screening, health risk assessment, online diet and fitness programs, and electronic personal health records (PHR).
According to Celia Chandler, Human Resources Manager for the City of Murrieta, health360(tm) is a "great fit" to the city's existing growth and wellness programs. "Health360 is a great fit for the City of Murrieta's GEM Life professional growth and wellness program," says Chandler. "It's a new interactive approach that allows employees to list their health interests, which creates increased usage and access to important health information."
Another important feature of health360(tm) is that the city does not have to fund the program. That's because flexSCAN's advertisers, researchers, and other third-party content drivers will be underwriting the entire cost of health360(tm) including cash and non-cash rewards that enrolled employees and their dependents will earn just for using health360(tm) services.
Says Chandler, "This is a new approach that empowers employees to take control of their health versus the old passive approach that hands out flyers that are on topics employees may or may not be interested or even read. Partnering with wellness 360 just makes sense."
Tom Banks, Chairman and CEO of flexSCAN, says, "We are thrilled to be working with the City of Murrieta and are looking forward to working with all municipalities and other public agencies to help roll back the cost of employee health benefits."
