Focusing on What Matters Most—Healthy Behavior, Accountability There is more to Safeway Inc. than fresh vegetables, a frozen food aisle, the Signature Cafe and weekly coupon specials. The grocery retailer, which has more than 1,700 stores throughout the United States and Canada, is making its mark in the health care industry and providing quality health benefits for its more than 186,000 employees. The second largest supermarket chain in North America delivers a holistic approach to health, wellness and fitness to its employees and their families. Through its subsidiary, Safeway Health, the grocery chain has transformed the approach to health care, motivating its employees to be more accountable and more cost-conscious health care consumers. Employees benefit from better health, and the company saves money with its all-inclusive health care costs.
