Crowne Consulting Group, based on Ocoee, Florida, will promote American Heart Month throughout February by highlighting the benefits of patient-focused care at on-site facilities.
“On-site care is optimized when coupled with personalized
initiatives including health-risk assessments, incentive programs and work site
health coaches to help individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle through
physical activity, nutrition, and disease prevention,” Crowne Consulting
Group President Ray Tomlinson said.
Crowne Consulting highlighted its
work with the District School Board of Pasco County, which provides on-site care
for over 10,000 plan members. Those members, including employees,
dependents and retirees, can access primary and chronic care,
screenings, lab work, generic prescriptions and wellness programs at on-site and
near-site facilities.
The on-site facilities have saved the district
money, with $26 million in health and medication expenditure savings for the
district and more than $4 million in savings for employees, who spend less on
co-pays and medications.
The program has won awards from the American Heart Association for promoting a healthy workplace.
“In addition to lowering expenses, employers with on-site or
near-site care centers are promoting heart health and demonstrating measurable
outcomes in employee care,” Tomlinson said.
