September 15, 2004

PORTLAND, OREGON - Providence Health Systems of Alaska recently accepted a proposal to provide their employees with a new employee and company benefit-the LifeBalance Program. The program encourages its members to live healthy, more active lifestyles by offering them the opportunity to participate in hundreds of cultural and recreational activities and events all over Alaska, Washington and Oregon.

"We're very excited to bring the LifeBalance Program to Providence's employees in Alaska," says LifeBalance Director Paul Alati. "We'll be very busy over the next few months-working with Alaska's cultural and recreational business community-to build a new network of benefit-offering businesses for our Alaskan members."

The LifeBalance Program offers cultural and recreational businesses promotion and exposure directly to its members. In exchange, these businesses offer LifeBalance Members exclusive incentives and discounts on their services.

"It's a win-win situation for everyone involved," says Dean Dawkins, Marketing Manager at LifeBalance. "The businesses on the Provider Network get increased customer traffic, employees receive exclusive discounts for all sorts of fun things and the clients, in-turn, get happier, more productive workers," he continued.

Absolute Recreation Management, Inc. (ARM) is a privately held company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 1996, the LifeBalance Program is the flagship program of ARM-encouraging members to live an active, healthy and balanced life by participating in recreational and cultural activities throughout the Northwest.
