A NEW APPROACH TO PRIMARY CARE 

With the healthcare industry’s emphasis on volume, not value, many physicians are left feeling overworked, ineffective, and demoralized. It’s no wonder why 43% of physicians plan to cut-back on hours, retire, take a non-clinical job, switch to “concierge” medicine, or take other measures to bring back balance.

One branch of healthcare offering primary care providers greater flexibility and work-life balance are worksite clinics. Employers are taking wellness to new heights by investing in worksite clinics that focus on one thing: improving health. The result? Lower healthcare costs by improving employee health. Leading employer-sponsored healthcare offers physicians an opportunity to be the change agent they’ve always wanted to be.

How Does a Worksite Clinic Work?

Employers recognize that health starts with easy access to quality primary care. First, employers partner with a third-party vendor to assess population health and begin building value-based programs and services. From biometric screenings and health risk assessments, to workplace wellness programs and evidence-based chronic diseases management, employers invest in needs across the care continuum.
