Karen Hewitt, who works on the Compensation and Benefits staff at TI in Attleboro and serves as director of the company's corporate fitness center, is on a mission to make sure every Texas Instruments employee is as fit and healthy as possible. And Eileen Kravetz, a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts account service consultant, is supporting Karen every step of the way.
"There are so many Blue Cross programs available to help improve fitness and health that a big part of the job here is to make our employees aware of what is available them,'' says Karen. "We're slowly but surely getting to a population of employees who are becoming better health care consumers.
"It's been gradual, an evolutionary change in people's habits. More and more people are taking responsibility for their health. That's why I like working with Blue Cross because they empower people to make the small changes that can make them much healthier.''
