Wellness Consumer Builders, LLC, also known as WCB, an Independence, Missouri, wellness promotion and consulting company, will be offering workplace wellness promotion and consulting to Kansas City Metro companies beginning August 15, 2007. According to David F Sanders, president and founder of WCB, building a new American culture of wellness is the first and most important step in solving America's massive health care crisis. Sanders was recently published in the Kansas City Star as a guest columnist, http://www.kansascity.com/business/columnists/story/201686.html He has over 20 years experience in insurance, employee benefits, and wellness.

He received his BA in music at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado, has studied sociology and Spanish at Brigham Young University in Provo Utah, and human biology and chiropractic at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City. He is currently working on his MBA in Entrepreneurship through the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Henry W Bloch School of Business and Public Administration, and Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Mr. Sanders avows that "wellness is not merely a 'nice' thing to do for your employees' health. It is a 'necessary' thing to do for the bottom-line financial health of the business. Wellness is a corporate asset. It reduces turnover, absenteeism and increases productivity and efficiency."

Wellness Consumer Builders specializes in helping medium-sized to large Kansas City Metro businesses. "We are a local company. National companies simply can't do what we do, because they can't live in your community and spend the personal time required to get the best results. We are here exclusively for Kansas City Metro Area companies. We are here to give personal attention and empower employees to act on their own initiative to create optimal health in their lives and the lives of their families."
