US Corporate Wellness Officially Inducted as the Newest Member of the "100 Club"

Intelligent Design Awards recognize those contributions which most set back evolution of the disease management and wellness fields. Just as engineers say that more is learned from a single bridge which collapses than from 100 which stay up, there are serious lessons to be learned from these humorous failures. (Note: DMPC is officially neutral on Intelligent Design vs. Evolution in general. Just not in disease management and wellness.)

US Corporate Wellness (along with their somewhat gullible reference-site co-conspirator, Denver Children's Hospital, DCH for short) has become the newest member of the 100 Club. To gain membership into this club, one must believe that a number can be reduced by more than 100%. US Corporate Wellness says that their DCH participants are "230% less likely" to do something-or-other (it doesn't matter what, it's still impossible to do it 230% less) than non-participants.

Fortunately for DMPC and its loyal members, despite the rapidly increasing membership in this club (Trestletree, William M. Mercer and epidemiologist Tom Wilson Ph D. being the other members), math is not a popularity contest. It is and will never be possible to reduce a number by more than 100%, no matter how hard one tries.
