Fortitude Health & Wellness, Inc. to Present Educational Session at HR Southwest 2007

Dallas-based company to address a practical option for reducing the cost of health care benefits, with positive impact on employees.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 17, 2007 -- Dallas-based Fortitude Health & Wellness, Inc. will address the "Employee Risk Assessments Paradigm Shift", Wednesday, October 24th at 11:00 a.m. during the 2007 HR Southwest Human Resources Conference and Exposition at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

The Human Resource Certification Institute has certified Fortitude's session for credit.

"We are honored to have been selected by HR Southwest to present to professionals whose organizations are affected by rising healthcare costs, and provide strategic alternatives that include positive results to the bottom-line and the workforce," said Janet Brooks, President/CEO.

The session will examine whether traditional health assessments measurably impact employee health, company's bottom-line, and return-on-investment. Attendees will learn the effectiveness of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), cost-effective methodology which educates, tracks, evaluates, and supplies metrics for implementation of customized worksite wellness programs.

Fortitude Health & Wellness, Inc. offers strategies and resources for self-care services that reduce health risks and, ultimately, healthcare costs. The company has created and implemented prevention and wellness programs for corporate clients and community-based organizations nationwide, using BIA as a key component.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is a painless, non-invasive method of measuring body composition. BIA measures and tracks changes in amounts of Body Cell Mass, Extracellular Mass, and fat. The resulting data forms the basis for customized therapeutic regimens which incorporate nutrition, fitness, and stress reduction.

Fortitude Health & Wellness, Inc. is Small Business Administration (SBA) and Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) certified.
