"While my continued medical problems force me to be less than a one hundred percent participant. My husband and I both made significant, positive lifestyle changes as the result of my participation [in the Ornish program].

My husband  has lost twenty pounds, takes one half of this diabetic medication and his heart (lipids) and diabetic (A1C) are within normal limits.  My weight is down, exercise is regular, and stress management is significantly manageable.  My last labs indicated dramatic improvement.

The [Ornish] staff is to be commended for their patience and hard work on behalf of the participants.  While I can not be considered a completer, I believe it was money well spend on the part of PEIA for we will both lead healthy lifestyles which well save you [PEIA]  money in the future.
