CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Len Goorian, the nation’s oldest radio and television host, celebrated his 94th birthday on air by discussing healthy living and wellness partnerships with Aegis Health Group and The Christ Hospital. During the radio show, “ThinkTalkLAF,” on ClearChannel’s 55KRC in Cincinnati, Goorian discussed corporate health and the impact of current market dynamics driven by the Affordable Care Act.
Fueled by his passion for bringing highly relevant topics to his audiences, Goorian covers a variety of community health themes and has recently begun covering issues specific to hospitals. His recent program looked at the partnership between Aegis Health Group and The Christ Hospital, which allows the hospital to offer targeted wellness programs to employers throughout the Cincinnati metro area. Through the hospital-sponsored worksite-wellness program, local employers gain access to valuable insight into the health risks of their workforce, prevention and educational services offered by the hospital, as well as an online population health portal that helps individuals lead healthier lives. The portal, called OneCommunity, creates a valuable link between consumers, The Christ Hospital, and employers that is centered on improving health and lowering overall healthcare costs.
Guests included Bill Walker, chief technology officer for Aegis Health Group, and Dr. Amy Mechley, medical director of wellness for The Christ Hospital. “Helping our listeners understand the impact of healthcare reform while providing practical solutions to building a healthier, more informed community is central to our mission on ThinkTalkLAF,” said Goorian. “Partnerships like Aegis Health Group and The Christ Hospital are great examples of organizations working together to improve health and reduce healthcare costs.”
