San Diego-based Northrop Grumman Corp., Genoptix Inc., Scripps Memorial Hospital and 10 Southern California Scripps Health Clinics are a handful of companies to join the list of those choosing to provide healthy meal options for employees by using FITzee Foods, a health food company offering corporate wellness solutions. Specializing in creating nutritionally balanced, packaged meals, one of FITzee Foods’ main initiatives is to be integrated into corporate wellness programs as a nutrition component.

FITzee Foods offers two options to introduce healthy lunch options to employees. FITzee Foods can send a mobile store on location during lunchtime for employees to purchase meals, or can install a healthy vending kiosk at the company and stock the kiosk with items every week. The companies listed above have installed FITzee Foods’ kiosk option or have opted for the FITzee mobile store and have seen positive results with employees’ health.

Particularly with Scripps Health, management found its employees were costing too much in preventive health care due to poor eating habits. FITzee Foods provides a solution and has placed healthy options straight into the hands of employees seeking healthier meal options.

“As a health care organization, Scripps recognizes the important role that nutrition plays in an individual’s wellbeing,” said Vic Buzachero, senior vice president of Scripps Health. “Our partnership with FITzee Foods allows us to provide delicious, fresh, healthful meals to employees at a discounted rate from the convenience of a vending machine. Investing in the health of our employees is an important strategy for providing the best patient care to the community.” Scripps subsidizes the meal cost of $3 per meal for their employees to offer discounted meals to the employee.
