The city of Chicago and the Chicago Federation of Labor are partnering to offer a comprehensive wellness program to city employees and their dependents.

Free wellness services, check-ups and counseling for city workers will be available on this program, which is expected to save taxpayers at least $20 million during its first year.

"With this partnership, we are able to save millions for Chicago's taxpayers and improve the lives of city workers," says Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "This innovative program is only possible with the partnership of our partners in labor unions. It will help our workers and their families live healthier lives while greatly reducing the amount spent on health insurance for city workers."
