Baptist’s team members have enjoyed the benefits of our BestHealth Wellbeing Program since 2018 with weight loss, diabetes, tobacco cessation and fitness support. Now, Baptist is offering BestHealth by Baptist, an employer-based well-being program, to large and small businesses.
“BestHealth by Baptist is committed to improving and sustaining the health of employees because healthier individuals result in healthier businesses, communities and economies,” said Lia Lansky, system director of wellbeing for Baptist Memorial Health Care. “BestHealth services are designed to engage employees in a one-of-a-kind way that helps improve their well-being. Not only does our program help improve productivity in the workplace, it also gives employees a sense of accomplishment, pride and gratitude for a happier, healthier lifestyle.”
Through multiple data sources, such as claims data, health risk assessments and biometric screenings, BestHealth helps companies understand what is driving costs for health plans — and the health issues, factors and trends affecting their employees.
BestHealth also has demonstrated an effective record, resulting in enhanced participation and engagement rates of eligible participants in excess of 90%.
By combining incentive-based well-being services with population health expertise, BestHealth by Baptist engages employees with individualized lifestyle and behavior-change coaching in such areas as diabetes management, weight loss, physical activity, nutritional improvement, resilience, stress management and tobacco cessation.
BestHealth’s goal is to promote primary care, implement proven interventions to reduce risk of chronic illness and reduce emergency department visits that can spike the cost of health care. This comprehensive strategy has been proven to improve the health of a company’s workforce while helping contain the rising costs of employee health benefits.
