SCSC Wellness Highlight - City of Fairmont

Each year, City of Fairmont employees have the opportunity to participate in biometric screening at their worksite. Each participant receives a comprehensive screening that includes measurements, blood pressure, and a blood draw covering 49 lab tests. The purpose is simple but powerful: to help staff identify potential health issues early and encourage timely follow-up with their healthcare providers.

"I have participated in the biometric screening program since it began. Over the years, I’ve seen more employees join, make real improvements in their health, and feel that the City of Fairmont truly cares about us. I’m grateful to SCSC for making this valuable wellness program possible and hope it continues." - Julie Z., Assistant Finance Director

Employees report that screenings often reveal meaningful information, sometimes identifying issues they didn’t realize were developing. Thus demonstrating the real-life impact of preventive care.

The City promotes the program through open-enrollment materials, meetings, and targeted email reminders to ensure staff are aware of the opportunity and understand its benefits. Overall, staff appreciate the screening and value the insights it provides into their health.

A workplace wellness program has become indispensable, offering significant benefits for employers and employees. The SCSC Worksite Wellness Program is a dedicated initiative exclusively available to SCSC/MHC health insurance pool members.
