Family First

I was thrilled to be part of this provocative discussion on caregiving at HLTH. I emphasized that more than 20% of employees are also caregivers. Their health and well-being are dramatically affected by the stress and strain of caregiving, driving avoidable medical costs. Across more than 300 employer clients, on average we save more than $3,300 in medical expenses. More to come on this tomorrow. Meanwhile thanks to HLTH for highlighting this serious and important problem.

Next week, healthcare leaders will gather in Las Vegas for the annual HLTH Inc. Conference. If you’re among them, don’t miss our CEO, Evan Falchuk, speaking on the 'Employer’s Caregiving Era' panel.
