“Nurtur PeopleCare: The 3rd Dimension in Healthcare” presents an overview of the traditional and preventive dimensions of the current health care system and points to the need for a new facet that considers health care consumerism. It then goes on to examine three factors at the root of the nation’s health care crisis and explores why the high expectations placed on disease management to control costs were unrealistic. Finally, it offers Nurtur PeopleCare as a consumer-focused approach that allows a 360° perspective of both life and health issues to address lifestyle behaviors, improve health and reduce health care costs.
“With Nurtur PeopleCare, health care isn’t just about health. It’s also about life,” said Steve Meholic, chief operating officer for Nurtur. “Our view is a holistic perspective that brings the individual into greater focus, which allows us to provide more effective and meaningful interventions. People need to be supported with both clinical education and behavioral motivation to make and sustain changes to improve their health.”
Nurtur is the first health and wellness company to make the strategic investment to acquire a work-life and EAP provider and integrate the service capabilities into its core programs. Nurtur PeopleCare brings together the company’s unique multi-disciplinary health coaching model with real life problem resolution to enable individuals to make long-term health a daily priority.
Nurtur will continue to refine and enhance its Nurtur PeopleCare capabilities through its exclusive partnership with the Duke Center for Living. “We are committed to our vision to transform our industry by focusing on the relationship between life and health, which is the only way to address the behaviors and lifestyles that are at the root cause of much of health care costs today,” said Bart Sheeler, president, ActivHealth, the wellness company recently acquired by Nurtur.
