According to the Washington, D.C.-based NBGH, winners of the fifth annual
awards were "recognized for their exceptional commitment to a healthy
workplace and for helping their employees and families make better choices
about their own health and well being."

Best employers were honored in one of three categories: Platinum, for
established "Healthy Weight, Healthy Lifestyles" programs with measurable
success and documented outcomes; Gold, for creating cultural and environmental
changes that support employees who are committed to long-term behavior
changes; and Silver, for employers who have launched programs or services to
promote living a healthier lifestyle.

Some of HealthFitness' clients earning this year's recognition and their award
categories include:
-- Platinum: Cigna, FPL Group, IBM, Occidental Petroleum Corporation and
Texas Instruments Incorporated
-- Gold: Pfizer, Inc.
-- Silver: ARAMARK, Cardinal Health, Inc., and The Home Depot

"We congratulate and commend these clients on achieving this prestigious
recognition," said Gregg O. Lehman, president and CEO, HealthFitness. "It
proves that when employers consider employee health an investment rather than
an expense, the return on that investment can be clearly measured not only in
dollars, but in the improvement of employees' lives."

The awards were presented June 24 during the NBGH's Joint Summit of the
Institutes on Health Care Costs and Solutions and the Costs and Health Effects
of Obesity in Arlington, Va.
