We design a customized wellness program to address those risks through education and prevention services which will help employers create a healthier workforce and a healthier bottom line. An estimated 25 to 30 percent of companies’ medical costs each year are spent on employees with major – but controllable – risk factors. This means that much of the cost of health care is connected to lifestyle habits that you and your employees can do something about. And Thomas Hospitals Wellness First can help. Companies that participate in the full program receive:

  • Biometric Screening: cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, and BMI for each participating employee
  • Customized Programs and Services: incentive design, educational services, and monthly e-newsletters
  • Financial Analysis: a web-based tool to project health care costs
  • Health Profile Reports: Personal reports for each employee identifying their health risks and group profile reports compiling aggregate data identifying health risks of all participating employees
  • Health Profile Surveys: Confidential surveys to assess health issues for each participating employee

One Community

OneCommunity offers a web-based, consolidated approach to your health initiative. It’s a total population health portal unlike any other, and includes all the tools listed plus features like a personal health score and personal health tracking tools. It also features an interactive consumer engagement and robust incentives management platform.

Personal Health Score A health score is generated for each participant who completes the Personal Health Profile and biometric screening. Data is stored so health improvements can be tracked over time. While not a health diagnosis, the default health score provides an overall context for comparison within the workforce, market, and national averages.
