| Employer Resources for CPR and AED Training - February 16, 2023 Webinar 1:00pm - 2:00pm February is Heart Month, and this year the American Heart Association (AHA) is focusing on expanding CPR awareness and training. Each year, 350,000 Americans die from cardiac arrest. About 90 percent of people who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital will die, but immediate CPR and AED intervention can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. If you are called to give CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you know or love. So, AHA is challenging America with the task to Be the Beat for their family, friends, coworkers, and community. At the suggestion of the Employee Health and Well-being Interest Group, we arranged for Jennifer Litchman, Executive Director of our Regional AHA, and Jeff Salvatore, Community Program Director, Health Equity, to provide GPBCH members with an overview of CPR and AED training resources available to employers. Webinar attendees learned about the importance of CPR training for the workforce, options for providing training, including developing a worksite train-the-trainer program, educational kits available through the AHA, and other resources to help learn the latest in life-saving CPR technique.

| Understanding & Addressing the Needs of Caregivers in Your Organization - February 22, 2022 Webinar 1:00pm - 2:00pm 53 million adults in the United States identify as “caregivers” or “care partners” for a family member living with a chronic disease.

| The EX Program: An Innovative Approach to Help Employees Quit Smoking, Vaping, and Chewing - July 30, 2020 Webinar 1:00pm - 2:00pm The EX Program by Truth Initiative, built in partnership with Mayo Clinic, offers digital support through live chat coaching, tailored text messaging, the largest active online community, and more to help more tobacco users quit for good, which is especially important right now. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 attacks the lungs, and could be a particularly serious threat to tobacco users, both smokers and vapers. In this webinar, we learned about the high costs of nicotine addiction on your organization and employees. We also heard new research on the surprising impact of vaping on your workforce—even if just a few employees vape. And finally, we saw how the EX Program works to help your organization inspire more tobacco-free lives, and find out what's involved in making the program available to your workforce. The EX Program has demonstrated high rates of user engagement and a 34% long-term quit rate. GPBCH members receive a negotiated discount program rate to offer the EX Program to employees. To learn more about this program and see if it fits with your organization please contact Jenn Gendron, Head of Development, Innovations, Truth Initiative (jgendron@truthinitiative.org) and/or Lauren Higgins, Managing Director, Partnerships & Strategic Accounts, Innovations, Truth Initiative (lhiggins@truthinitiative.org).

 Philadelphia DoubleTree Hotel, 237 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 8:00 am - 10:30 am Migraine is the third most prevalent chronic disease in the world. In the US, 12% of the population suffers from migraine, with prevalence greatest in working age women. Employers typically do not address migraine in their disease management strategies because it doesn’t show up in claims review as a significant cost driver. However, migraine is vastly under-diagnosed, and much of the economic impact is on indirect cost (lost productivity), especially presenteeism – employees showing up for work but not performing to their typical standard due poor health. In this session, we’ll discuss the epidemiology and economics of migraine, and how workplace management programs can measure and address presenteeism for migraine and for other common chronic conditions that significantly impact productivity.
