Why educate your employees on ways to improve their health care?
As Americans age into their 40s, 50s and beyond, they consume more
and more medical resources. The biggest surge of Baby Boomers is
currently between the ages of 55 and 59. This group will grow 24
percent between 2001 and 2005, and 41 percent between 2001 and
2010, according to the Census Bureau. On average, a U.S. male’s
health care spending doubles in the 45 to 54 age group, as compared
to the 35 to 44 age group. Upon entering the 55 to 64 age group,
his spending rises another 50 percent.
At the same time, consumers are demanding more than ever before
from the health care system. The Baby Boomers who have driven
almost every major trend of the last five decades are very
interested in getting the very best medical care no matter how
high the costs.
We recognize that people of all ages want to be healthy, but
sometimes lack the physical and emotional skills to take care of
themselves properly. They also receive mixed messages regarding
appropriate care and medications. In addition to innovative
wellness programs, we strive to educate employees on health issues
and trends that affect them and advise them on ways to use their
health benefits to not only make live healthier lives, but also to
reduce health care costs.
