In October, Alexis Wise, Vice-President, Health Products and Partnerships, Sun Life Health, took part as a panelist in an exclusive roundtable, Building healthier workplaces for a sustainable future by addressing diabetes. She used this opportunity to explain how our Diabetes Care Program has helped thousands of individuals living with diabetes improve their health since it started. She also explored the rising costs of diabetes, the importance of early intervention, and how you can integrate new tools to help support your employees while preserving the long-term sustainability of their benefits plans.
