SanoPass FIT by MedLife, the leader of the MedTech market in Romania and part of the MedLife group, announces the expansion of its strategic partnership with the provider of medical services, strengthening joint efforts to encourage physical activity among employees. Thus, from 2024, MedLife will also add wellness benefits to the extra-salary package for all employees by integrating SanoPass FIT subscriptions, being an example of supporting a healthy and productive work environment where each team member feels encouraged to adopt a style of active and balanced life.

With SanoPass FIT memberships, MedLife employees can access partner fitness centres nationwide, including wellness programs and facilities. In an era where the attraction and retention of talent are crucial for the success of an organization, wellness and fitness services contribute to the creation of a healthy and productive work environment but also to the consolidation of an organizational culture that values the health and well-being of employees.

“Partnering with MedLife is a cornerstone in our mission to promote a healthy and affordable lifestyle. By joining forces, we expand access to top-notch fitness and wellness services for employees and underscore our shared commitment to improving quality of life and professional performance. This collaboration is proof of the shared vision to strengthen a healthier society, starting with the work environment”, said Andrei Vasile, CEO & founder of SanoPass FIT.

This approach was positively received by the MedLife team, highlighting the flexibility and adaptability of SanoPass in identifying solutions that meet current market demands.

“The inclusion of SanoPass FIT in the extra-salary benefits package for our team was a normal step, in line with the strategic business objectives. We actively promote prevention and adopting a balanced lifestyle. We aim to exemplify this by supporting our employees in adopting healthy habits and turning them into a routine. The colleagues reacted extremely well, as evidenced by the high enrollment rate in the program and the positive feedback from many of them. The care and empathy with which we treat our patients are principles that we also apply when it comes to MedLife people, and motivating colleagues through benefits of interest to them is a factor that can also lead to a better experience for those who choose our services”, says Radu Petrescu, Human Resources Director at MedLife.

The benefits of SanoPass FIT subscriptions significantly impact the health and well-being of employees. In the context where 62% of Romanians do not practice any sport or physical activity, according to the Eurobarometer survey dedicated to sport and physical activity, SanoPass reiterates its commitment to supporting the adoption of an active lifestyle, improving the quality of life. Within MedLife, of the total number of employees active in the platform, 79.1% are women and 20.29% are men, the most active age groups being 25-31 years and 32-38 years. To date, an average of 1729 subscribers have gone to a gym and generated 3798 entries, about 8.8 per month.

According to an extensive study conducted by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which involved more than 100,000 adult participants over 20 years, people who practised regular physical activities reduced their risk of developing heart disease by up to 30%. Develop cardiovascular disease and up to 50% risk of diabetes compared to those who had a low level of physical activity.

“Regular physical activity is fundamental to maintaining a healthy and balanced life. Through exercise, we stimulate the release of endorphins, the happy hormones, which can improve our mood and help us better manage everyday stress and anxiety. In addition to emotional benefits, regular physical activity remains a key adjunct in preventing and controlling several health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. By maintaining an adequate level of physical activity, we can improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system and reduce insulin resistance”, added Dr. Lăcrămioara Petrescu, primary cardiology physician at MedLife.

In an age where physical activity and prevention are increasingly essential for health, through this initiative, SanoPass and MedLife not only provide concrete benefits for the health and well-being of employees but also emphasize the importance given to these aspects to encourage a work environment. Thus, SanoPass maintains its commitment to supporting and encouraging employees and employers alike to adopt healthy habits with a positive long-term impact.
