The Cigna Relaxation POD is still available for use by Vermont employees.
The physical effects of excessive stress have long been recognized — from heart attacks and strokes to ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Continual stress also takes a toll on the body’s immune system, causing frequent colds and other illnesses along with dependency and behavioral health issues.
The Relaxation POD aids in mindfulness and stress reduction. Participants in the original pilot program realized a significant reduction in their stress, lowered blood pressure measures, and lower heart rates.
The POD is located in the People Center. Feel free to stop by to give it try, set up a schedule for a regular time slot, or just use it when you need to.
Contact Lorraine Bishop at ext 3177 or see her for POD availability.
