Oxy initiated an expanded health improvement and wellness program in 2006 that is available to all U.S.-based Oxy employees and their spouses. The program takes a preemptive approach to finding and addressing health risks to keep participants healthy. Oxy recognizes that health improvement has been shown to provide significant benefits, including higher productivity and reduced medical costs, for the company and our employees.

Oxy's wellness program incorporates online health assessments, free health screenings and other elements that provide health risk education and risk reduction assistance. Participants can meet with a health advisor to discuss their individual results and consider ways to improve personal health and wellbeing. More than 4,000 employees and spouses have completed their online health assessments in the months since this program was launched.
