Benefitfocus and Mayo Clinic Launch Integrated Health and Wellness Offerings
These new offerings will allow employers to manage the entire benefits lifecycle in one place, and provide employees seamless access to quality health information and tools. “Our patients have told us they want a more convenient way to access Mayo Clinic care and expertise,” said Paul Limburg, M.D., medical director of Mayo Clinic Global Business Solutions. “As a result of this relationship with Benefitfocus, we will be able to reach out in a new way and potentially help many more people who could benefit from Mayo Clinic expertise in the medical and behavioral sciences.”
This is a major addition for Benefitfocus clients.
“The demand for employee health and wellness programs continues to skyrocket as employers search for the most effective employee engagement tools,” said Shawn Jenkins, Benefitfocus President and CEO. “Wellness programs that are designed and implemented properly can have a strong impact on controlling an organization’s health care costs and improving employee health. The relationship with Mayo Clinic gives our clients the expert resources and proven methods needed to engage employees, promote healthy lifestyle choices and support long-term behavior change.”
Both industry leaders are participating in the 64th Annual SHRM Conference in Atlanta, GA, June 24-27, 2012. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to hear first-hand how Benefitfocus and Mayo Clinic will deliver the latest thinking in disease prevention, behavior change, risk reduction, condition management, self-care and treatment decision support through Benefitfocus HR InTouch.
