When you look at the site they offer additional services outside of wellness to include anger management, working with Alzheimer's and the office, all kinds of human resource programs and dealing with stress 
on the job. Companies like the one that just bought them seem to be at the root of some of the stress today for many. The offer executive coaching too so maybe the CEO of Humans gets some internal benefits too <grin>. One of their big clients as listed is Cerberus, the company that bought all the hospitals in Massachusetts under the name of Steward, the management company. Just one more company wanting you to live a healthier life. BD
