Dr. Roizen

Thank you for joining Shape Up & Go! 2010 and for taking an important step toward health and wellbeing.

Cleveland Clinic strongly believes in the importance of a healthy workforce and is proud to offer this program as one of our Employee Wellness initiatives. We are launching Shape Up & Go! 2010 as part of our ongoing investment in our people and to help drive down healthcare costs and make Northeast Ohio more competitive for jobs.

A little fair warning ... some say Wellness Institute members should be excluded from the competition. I disagree! We deserve a chance to compete, too, and that's why I am joining you and your colleagues in this challenge - and betting on Wellness coming in first!

Kidding aside, I wish you every success in the coming weeks. By participating in this truly healthy competition, we all win. See you at the finish line!

Best Wishes,

Mike Roizen, M.D.
Chief Wellness Officer
Cleveland Clinic
