Hi All,
I just tried to post a minute ago but it said my connection was lost, so I'm starting over again. You may see two similar posts from me.

Hi folks, we have a client who is interested in good precedents for measuring wellness. A little background: the project is a student health and wellness building, and what we'd typically measure (healthcare visits, staff absenteeism, etc) are pretty disease focused.
