With associates across many disciplines, The Friedkin Group has a multifaceted view of factors influencing health and wellbeing as an employer, provider and plan sponsor. Their continued efforts focus on prevention, participation, and population health. Friedkin was named one of Houston’s Healthiest Employers in 2014 and 2016 by the American Heart Association.

This webinar presentation will showcase:

1. How Friedkin’s HR leaders made the business case for C-suite buy-in to prioritize preventive care and subsidize it through an incentive program
2. How Friedkin’s incentivized approach to Annual Preventive Visits continues to maintain steady participation in this program
3. The integration of health and wellness data that allowed Friedkin to measure participation, trends and health status over the years
4. The successful health promotion campaign that helped support this initiative
5. The demographic and organizational differences between members who participated and those who did not
6. The differences in health status and risk between participants and non-participants
7. Ongoing efforts to engage and educate non-participants and manage their health risks

Attendees who take part in this webinar will come away with ideas and lessons on the key role employers play in the promotion of Prevention and Primary Care.
