VISTA introduces its employees to Retrofit

All too often, many people think of health care as reactive—something that we participate in only when we need to treat or fix a problem. At VISTA, we believe in being proactive about health and wellness, which is why we were thrilled to introduce our workforce to Retrofit, a proven weight loss program that helps people set realistic goals with attainable—and sustainable—results.

After winning a national contest this January, thanks to our Senior Programmer Rich Interdonato, VISTA and Retrofit are currently engaged in about 100 individual weight loss programs that include consulting sessions for diet and exercise. As the waistlines of VISTA’s employees shrink, the partnership between Retrofit and VISTA continues to grow. Retrofit has even begun sponsoring VISTA Territory Manager Joe Russo and his monthly cooking spot on the KUTV Channel 2 Fresh Living morning program. Joe presents delicious and nutritious meal ideas during his spot, and has introduced Retrofit crowd-pleasers on the show such as the fewer than 400 calorie Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli Penne.

Just as VISTA is dedicated to creating and maintaining a healthy world by positioning the best physicians to help others, we are also fully committed to promoting healthy lifestyle choices within our own company. We would like to thank Retrofit for extending this amazing opportunity to our employees and are excited to continue our relationship with them.
