	"To achieve success in health management, you need to be clear and factual in how you approach measurement. The best way to measure is through comprehensive health evaluations, which indicate actual and specific health risks for each individual, both emotional and physical. We recommend that wellness programs start with baseline measurements through clinically credible testing. Data-driven insights, performed on a consistent and reliable basis, allow assessment of year-over-year progress for individuals and your entire population. A clear and factual view of one's health today improves the odds that one's health will be better in the future than it otherwise would be. Further, a clear and factual view of an organization's aggregate health today improves the odds that the organization's health will be better in the future than it otherwise would be." -Cathy Kenworthy, President/CEO Interactive Health, Inc., Schaumburg, Ill.
