County to promote employer-covered GLP-1 weight-loss/coaching program to employees
Summary
Commissioners were offered a no-cost-to-county diabetes/weight-loss program: the vendor said the service costs about $399 a month and a portion would be covered by the JPT program; commissioners agreed it could be promoted to employees immediately.
A vendor presentation described a health program that offers GLP-1 medication and one-on-one telehealth coaching to employees and county residents; the county’s pooled program (JPT) indicated it would cover the full $399 monthly cost for certain participants and $200 per month toward others' coverage.
The vendor representative said the program pairs a health navigator with participants and delivers personalized coaching and medication shipment. During the meeting the program cost was summarized: “It costs about $399 or $399 a month, and JPT takes that cost,” and commissioners agreed to allow staff to distribute program details and an employee sign-up email prepared by the vendor. The board asked HR to confirm eligibility and contact information to ensure outreach was correctly targeted.
Commissioners welcomed the program as a no-cost offering to county employees and asked staff to circulate vendor materials and confirm enrollment steps and privacy or consent paperwork.
