Event Description:
Health care lies in the path of a perfect storm, as demographics clash with dwindling resources. Individuals are experiencing delayed appointments and procedures, but business owners face the added challenges of a shrinking workforce and the rising costs of benefits. We know that those who practice self-advocacy are healthier and live longer, so why not couple health literacy with the resources of a workplace “community” to create a win-win partnership? Jo Kline reveals the facts and history driving this inevitable crisis and then shares crucial strategies that empower employers and employees to achieve best health outcomes together—in spite of the perfect storm.
