Part 2: Dr. Tedd Mitchell, MD & Dr. Janet Tornelli-Mitchell: Wellness for a workforce
Welcome to Part 2 of Lacy’s talk with Dr. Tedd Mitchell, M.D., and Dr. Janet Tornelli-Mitchell, M.D., chancellor and first lady of the Texas Tech University System. In Part 1, the Mitchells shared their mutual passion for fitness and a lifestyle that prevents illness and disease. As leaders, they are transforming the health of the Texas Tech University System’s workforce by promoting one of our health plan’s two, no-cost weight management programs: Wondr Health. Listening to these medical doctors, you are likely to investigate Wondr Health for yourself. You’ll also be inspired to schedule your annual visit with the doctor after you hear the Mitchells talk about what holds us back from seeing the doctor and the life-changing difference of early detection.
