Good Health.
Better Business.
Keeping your employees well is
not just a nice thing to do—it’s
good business. Healthy
employees are more likely to be safe on
the job, more productive and less likely to
incur high health care costs. That’s why
COSE and Medical Mutual of Ohio have
joined forces to help you and your
employees learn to be well, and stay well.
