Employer Program
The HLTH 2018 Employer Program: Shift or Get off the Pot!, will unite large employers like Walmart, Comcast, Sharecare, Sodexo and industry trade associations to discuss how employers are implementing policies to lower medical spend, improve quality of care, engage employees and align benefits offered to the value provided.
“Health issues, including chronic health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, continue to erode our nation’s overall health status, while driving costs upward at unsustainable levels. These conditions prove to be even more costly for employers, as employees tend to have higher rates of absenteeism and declining productivity,” said Constance Sjoquist, Chief Content Officer of HLTH. “Employers play a key role in helping shape the future of healthcare in America, and we’re excited to create a forum for these organizations to share insights and ignite the transformation necessary to reduce costs and improve health outcomes.”
Some of these speakers for the Employer Program include:
- Annette Guarisco Fildes, President and CEO, The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC)
- Brian Marcotte, President and CEO, National Business Group on Health
