The Mesa Wellness Program enhances employees' and their families' quality of life by fostering a culture of health through education, motivation, and engagement. The Mesa Wellness 360 Program, a voluntary initiative for City of Mesa employees and their spouses/partners, encourages healthy lifestyles by offering health screenings, activities, and financial incentives. The Health and Wellness Center, an on-site facility available to over 11,000 members of the city’s health plan, provides free primary care services with convenient access. Since implementing these programs, the City of Mesa has observed a 19.11% increase in wellness class participation, 72% engagement in on-site health coaching (with a 91% completion rate) and a 65% completion rate for health assessments, contributing to a 2.4% reduction in employee health risks.
