The New England Work and Family Committee is committed to providing resources to our members to help you live a healthy, fulfilling life. Some of the current programs and promotions include:

The large, inverted, backlit LCD display with oversized numbers makes reading measurements the easiest and the adjustable cuff comfortably fits almost all arm sizes. It’s compatible with two users, storing up to 60 measurements for each. The kit includes a durable carrying case, 4 AAA batteries and a wall plug.
