Weaken

Because early intervention for high blood pressure can prevent heart attacks that might occur years later, MedCare encourages Sapphire employees to have their blood pressure checked and to seek early treatment for high blood pressure. Onyx employees typically stay with Onyx for only a short period, however. Therefore, MedCare has no financial motivation to offer similar encouragement to Onyx employees.
