MPR Wellness Program

Midwest Public Risk (MPR) has a comprehensive wellness program designed to improve your health and help you experience a better quality of life.

The program includes services and resources designed to keep you and your employees informed and engaged in the health/wellness goals of MPR.

Through a mix of education seminars, campaigns, and group challenges, MPR offers a variety of ways for employees to participate in activities to improve their health.

MPR can also assist you in creating a customized health fair. Additional resources are available to our health benefits members through UMR’s professional CARE programs.
