Vitality Group, a global health tech company committed to making people healthier, today announced Gateway, a program designed to integrate strategic partners across the broader health ecosystem to connect employees to meaningful resources that will improve their health. Seven leading health companies join in collaboration with Vitality: Headspace, Happify Health, Vida Health, Zipongo, eHealthScreenings (a Premise Health company), U.S. Preventive Medicine, and Wellness Corporate Solutions.*
“We’re encouraged to see leading employers continue to invest in the health of their workforce,” said Tal Gilbert, Vitality USA CEO. “They’re building on their first generation wellness programs by broadening and deepening the interventions available. It’s great to be working with some of the most innovative companies in the industry to help improve the health of millions of Americans in the workforce.”
“Employees appreciate having a multitude of resources readily available for managing their health,” said Stephanie Tilenius, CEO of Vida Health. “That’s why we’re proud to offer our digital therapeutic program and one-on-one health coaching and therapy as a part of the constellation of health and wellness resources that Vitality offers. We believe that employees served by Gateway will see exceptional value when all of their health options are in one place.”
As part of the Vitality program, employees will receive personalized and dynamic health recommendations and resources specific to their needs in a way that meets them where they are while also providing employers the opportunity to amplify their own benefits and program offerings. These offerings are supported by Vitality’s proven expertise in behavioral science and incentive strategies to help employees overcome common decision errors. Available through Vitality’s dynamic digital platforms, Vitality connects members to the right resources at the right time for them.
“eHealthScreenings, a Premise Heath company, helps individuals understand their health by capturing data that provides valuable insight into both current and potential future medical issues, the risk of preventable chronic conditions, and strategies to improve overall health and well-being. These insights will lay the foundation for Gateway’s highly effective, customized program. We’re excited to partner with Vitality Group to help companies and wellness partners enhance the member experience while reducing overall costs and improving health outcomes,” said Jami Doucette, Leader at Premise Health.
“Vitality continues to demonstrate a commitment to innovation, which is important to us,” said Kristyn Cantu, Total Rewards Manager, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. “By recognizing the value of partnering with other companies, Vitality shows its commitment to its clients. Being able to incorporate the additional activities we offer our employees within the Vitality incentive structure is really a game-changer.”
Ron Loeppke, M.D., MPH, FACPM, Vice Chairman of U.S. Preventive Medicine commented, “USPM is honored to partner with Vitality as we integrate our telephonic and digital Health Coaching and Nurse Care Management services in combination with the Vitality wellness ecosystem. Like Vitality, we have an unparalleled commitment to evidence-based clinical interventions that are proven to yield lower health risks and health costs — with independently validated results showing significant, sustained reductions of hospitalizations and emergency room visits in populations we serve. Together with Vitality, we can leverage the power of prevention and help make the world a healthier place.”
