Taking An Innovative Approach To Meeting Employees Where They Are With An On-Site Health Center

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas, in its enduring partnership with UnitedHealthcare, has demonstrated a commitment to fostering the well-being of its employees and the broader community. Recognizing the importance of improving community health, particularly in an area ranked among the least healthy, the Unified Government embarked on a journey to enhance the health and well-being of its employees and reduce healthcare costs. By establishing a health and well-being initiative called "Road to Wellness" and subsequently launching an employee health center, they prioritized convenience and informed decision-making. This on-site health center, operated by Marathon Health, has contributed to improved health outcomes and reduced costs. Further plans include boosting engagement through initiatives like a fitness center. The Unified Government's dedication to its employees' well-being mirrors its commitment to serving the community of Wyandotte County.
