Addressing the Whole Person: The Key to Sustained Engagement and Clinical Outcomes for People with Chronic Conditions
AlbumHealth authentically has a transformative approach. This webinar describes the partnership between AlbumHealth and Meredith Corporation. Our personalized, data-driven approach leads to meaningful health change and savings.
Meredith Corporation and AlbumHealth began working together in 2015, piloting an innovative solution focused on optimizing employee health and reducing/slowing medical spending. As an established leader in the health and wellness space, leaders at Meredith and AlbumHealth realized that the key to sustained health improvement and reduced/slowed medical spending was to create a simple, personalized solution for each employee that focused on behavior change and addressed all aspects of all aspects of health, including emotional well-being. Through a simple, personalized and “total health” approach, Meredith and Album believed that they would achieve optimal health, medical savings, strong engagement, and satisfied employees while simplifying and unifying health and risk-reduction strategies to one core solution (versus distinct solutions in disease management, health coaching, digital therapies, and engagement).
