"The ActivHealth system is a key component of our employee wellness program (WellWorks). The health risk assessment, health reports, education modules and the personal fitness log are valuable tools that are available to our employees at work or home. The management reporting and tracking features for monitoring employee participation and fitness/wellness status are very helpful in managing our program at WellWorks."
Health Research Corp – Thad Parry, President
"Health technology is a quickly developing field, and ActivHealth is on the cutting edge with their Personal Health / Self Care tools. They have the capability of supporting any size membership group and are dedicated to supporting the health and wellness of their membership populations."
"We've been working closely with ActivHealth for over a year. Their personal health assessment and associated e-learning courses filled an important gap in our product offerings. I would highly recommend using their products and services."
Wellness by Choice – Kyle Blumin
Our relationship with ActivHealth has been nothing but positive and productive. The online health management system and the customer service are both world class. ActivHealth has been very instrumental in helping us to develop and grow our business.
Duke Center for Living – William E. Kraus, MD
We are pleased that Duke’s long history and experience in developing preventive wellness educational and treatment programs will now be delivered internationally through this advanced — Internet based — Health Management System provided by ActivHealth. The system is very approachable to the individual. It’s fun to use, made up of the latest ‘state-of-the-art’ information, that can really help people get to where they want to be.”
Duke Center for Living – Connie W. Bales, PhD, RD
I think everybody knows in their heads they need to be watching health behaviors like fitness and good eating habits, but they sometimes lack the commitment to follow through. When people reach what we call a ‘readiness to change’ in their behavior that’s sincere -- from the heart as well as the head -- that’s the time when we want to provide good educational support.”
Duke University Medical Center – Stedman Nutrition Center – Kenneth W. Lyles, MD
ActivHealth provides a state-of-the-art system that allows us to interact with large numbers of people through the internet, so we can (provide timely information to help) modify their behavior and follow up what happens to them (over time).”
Saint Thomas Health Services – Bridgette Bollig, MS – Wellness & Health Promotion Coordinator
I just wanted to let you know how well The PHD Network has been received here at Saint Thomas Hospital. It is exactly what we needed to help take our wellness program to the next level. I am pleased to report that over 80% of our Wellness: A Choice! participants are actively utilizing the service.
Customer service and support have also been outstanding and your ability to assist with a variety of special requests has been a plus. I especially like the new administrative features and reports -- real time savers in tracking employee participation.
And speaking of employees, I thought you would appreciate the feedback we are getting from our employees here at Saint Thomas Hospital:
- "Great job! I felt that by taking into consideration those who are pregnant was a wise decision ..."
- "Loved The PHD Network. Will use it again."
- "Just wanted to let you know that I went through Wellness: A Choice!, and I will admit -- I was one of the 'nay sayers' regarding the on line lessons and testing. What a surprise!!! This was one of the most informative and useful information programs that I have ever read. I did 6 modules and plan to go back and do more. Great Program!"
Saint Thomas Health Services - Denny Porr, PhD, Vice President of Wellness Services
We strongly believe in the benefits created by wellness programs in the workplace and have promoted a focus on prevention since the mid-1990's here at St. Thomas Hospital. Your program -- The PHD Network -- was a natural addition to our current efforts and has been a valuable tool in helping our employees understand their current health issues and concerns.
The care and forethought exhibited by the doctors at Duke University Medical Center in development of the topics presented to each employee is outstanding. Recent survey's of our employees yields high satisfaction marks -- over 90% indicate The PHD Network is: informative, easy to read and understand, and helpful with respect to individual health needs/concerns.
American Journal of Health Promotion
For many companies, medical costs can consume half of corporate profits or more. Some employers look to cost sharing, cost shifting, managed care plans, risk rating, and cash-based rebates or incentives. But these methods merely shift costs. Only worksite health promotion stands out as the long-term answer for keeping employees well in the first place.
The Travelers Corporation claims a $3.40 return for every dollar invested in health promotion, yielding total corporate savings of $146 million in benefits costs. Sick leave alone, was reduced 19% during the four-year study!
