I look forward to working with Ben and Jeff to strengthen our combined capabilities and continue to change the face of employer-sponsored, value-based care.”

With increased scale, the combined company plans to accelerate investment in building stronger and broader technology-enabled clinical and population health capabilities that will ultimately deliver better care and a better patient experience, while driving cost out of the system for patients and employers.

“Marathon Health and OurHealth are a natural fit with one another,” continued Mr. Evans. “As we integrate our operations, we intend to leverage best practices from both organizations to not only improve access to high-quality primary care for our existing clients, but also to accelerate our MyClinic expansion into new geographies.

Air Transport Services Group Partners With OurHealth, Reopens Its Onsite Primary Care Clinic For Employees

/in , , /by

The aircraft leasing and transportation services provider is the latest company to offer onsite and near-site primary care services to employees

CINCINNATI (January 2, 2020) – Through a partnership with Indianapolis-based OurHealth, Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) has reopened an onsite primary care clinic at their Wilmington Air Park facility. Nearly 1,000 employees and their family members will have access to the renovated health center as well as four other locations throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.

Named OurHealth @ Wilmington Air Park, the onsite clinic begins operations today and will provide comprehensive primary and immediate care medical services to covered ATSG employees and their families.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing this important benefit back,” said Joe Hete, Chief Executive Officer at ATSG. “We’ve experienced first-hand the impact that accessible, convenient and high-quality care has on people’s wellbeing and overall quality of life. We believe that taking care of our employees is the right thing to do and lowers their out of pocket healthcare cost—so it’s a win-win all around.”

OurHealth @ Wilmington Air Park

Joe Hete, ATSG Chief Executive Officer cuts the ribbon to signify the grand opening of OurHealth @ Wilmington Air Park, an onsite primary care clinic for covered ATSG employees and their families.

OurHealth entered the Cincinnati market in early 2019 with the launch of its industry-leading system of near-site primary care clinics, called the MyClinic network, which includes locations in Springdale, Kings Mills, Green Township and at Fourth and Main Streets in downtown Cincinnati. In addition to their onsite clinic at Wilmington Air Park, covered ATSG employees and their families will have access to all four Cincinnati MyClinic locations.

ATSG is the latest addition to OurHealth’s growing presence in Southwest Ohio. Last month OurHealth announced a partnership with Delhi Township, Ohio. Other Cincinnati area clients include First Financial Bank, Rumpke and Hamilton County, Ohio.

“We’re excited to be partnering with ATSG to provide care for their employees and their families,” said Ben Evans, OurHealth Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. “We’re confident they’ll love the experience, and we can’t wait to build relationships that will have a lasting impact on their health, and of course their bottom line.”

Employers are attracted to OurHealth’s model for three key reasons — improved access to care for their employees and their dependents, independence from any hospital system or network allowing for unbiased referrals and robust reporting capabilities that allow business owners to easily understand their return on investment.

OurHealth clients enjoy an average savings of 17 percent on health plan costs through better management of chronic conditions, ER avoidance and reduced lab and drug costs. The company is on a mission to save employers $1 billion in healthcare costs, and to date has saved its clients more than $180 million. In 2019 alone OurHealth produced a total of $39 million in employer savings.

The company takes a patient-focused approach to care, including waiting room times of less than five minutes, appointments that average 20 to 40 minutes and a patient satisfaction score of 98 percent. OurHealth clients include a wide range of employers of all sizes and industries, including Anthem, Harris Teeter, CNO Financial Group and the Indianapolis Airport Authority.

OurHealth Opens New Location at Green Township, Adds Delhi Township to Its Growing Roster of Clients

Near-site primary care clinics provide convenient, affordable healthcare to members via their employer-sponsored health plans

CINCINNATI (December 11, 2019) – OurHealth, the industry-leading near-site healthcare clinic network for employers, today announces the opening of its fourth Cincinnati location in Green Township as well as a new partnership with Delhi Township, Ohio.

The healthcare provider will offer a full suite of primary care services for Delhi Township’s nearly 100 plan-eligible employees and their covered spouses and dependents, including wellness screens, physicals, sick care and health coaching.

OurHealth entered the Cincinnati market in early 2019 with the launch of its Cincinnati MyClinic network, which includes locations at Springdale Town Center, The Shoppes at Kings Mills, and downtown Cincinnati at Fourth and Main Streets. The fourth location – MyClinic @ Green Township – is now open on the westside of Cincinnati.

OurHealth MyClinic @ Green Township

In addition to its expanding network of clinic locations, OurHealth is growing its roster of Cincinnati-based clients with the addition of Delhi Township. OurHealth already has several established partnerships with local employers, including First Financial Bank, Rumpke and Hamilton County, Ohio.

“The MyClinic model made the most sense for our employees. Now with a west side location to complement their multiple clinic locations around Cincinnati, our people have the option to choose what’s most convenient for them,” said Melanie K. Hermes, Delhi Township HR Director.  “We believe that removing the barriers to healthcare will truly create healthier outcomes.”

The MyClinic network significantly lowers the barrier to entry by allowing employers to gain immediate access to a network of primary care clinics that are conveniently located within a 10-minute drive of the employee’s home or office.

Employers are attracted to OurHealth’s model for three key reasons — improved access to care for their employees and their dependents, independence from any hospital system or network allowing for unbiased, cost-effective referrals and robust reporting capabilities so business owners can easily understand their return on investment.

OurHealth clients enjoy an average savings of 17 percent on health plan costs through better management of chronic conditions, ER avoidance and reduced lab and drug costs.

“We’re excited to welcome Delhi Township to the Cincinnati MyClinic network,” said Ben Evans, OurHealth CEO and Co-founder. “We’re confident they’ll love the experience, and we can’t wait to make an immediate impact on their employees’ health, and of course their bottom line.”

OurHealth is on a mission to save employers $1 billion in healthcare costs, and to date has saved its clients more than $180 million. The company takes a patient-focused approach to care, including same and next-day appointments, waiting room times of less than five minutes, appointments that average 20 to 40 minutes and a patient satisfaction score of 98 percent.

In 2018, OurHealth patients lost a combined 40,000 pounds and 32,000 points of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. OurHealth clients include a wide range of employers of all sizes and industries, including Anthem, Harris Teeter, CNO Financial Group and the Indianapolis Airport Authority.

Senior living provider is the latest company to offer near-site primary care

CINCINNATI (August 1, 2019) – OurHealth, the nation’s leading provider of near-site primary care clinics for employers, today announces a partnership with Caring Place Healthcare Group.

OurHealth will provide a full suite of primary care services, including wellness screens, physicals, acute care and health coaching for the company’s 230 medical plan-enrolled employees and their covered dependents. Based in Cincinnati, Caring Place Healthcare Group operates six healthcare centers across the greater Cincinnati area specializing in short-term rehab, nursing care, Alzheimer’s care, senior living and other senior health services.

OurHealth entered the Cincinnati market in early 2019 with the launch of its Cincinnati MyClinic network, which includes MyClinic locations in Springdale, The Shoppes at Kings Mills and at Fourth and Main Streets in downtown Cincinnati. A fourth MyClinic location will open this fall in Green Township.

The MyClinic network significantly lowers the barrier to entry by allowing employers to gain immediate access to a network of primary care clinics that are conveniently located within a 10-minute drive of the employee’s home or office.

Caring Place Healthcare Group adds to OurHealth’s growing presence in the Cincinnati area. In April, OurHealth announced a partnership with Hamilton County, Ohio. Other Cincinnati clients include First Financial Bank, Rumpke and ADVICS.

“As a healthcare provider, we strive to help our residents live active and healthy lifestyles, so it makes perfect sense that we offer exceptional health benefits for our staff,” says Chase Kohn, Caring Place COO. “OurHealth is a great fit for our company and we couldn’t be more excited to offer this benefit.”

Employers are attracted to OurHealth’s model for three key reasons — improved access to care for their employees and their dependents, independence from any hospital system or network allowing for unbiased referrals and robust reporting capabilities that allow business owners to easily understand their return on investment.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Caring Place to our Cincinnati MyClinic network,” said Ben Evans, OurHealth CEO and co-founder. “We’re confident they’ll love the experience, and we can’t wait to make an immediate impact on their employees’ health, and of course their bottom line.”

OurHealth relocates headquarters to downtown Indianapolis amidst rapid business growth

/in , , /by

Employer-sponsored clinic provider moves its headquarters operations to Indianapolis’ Market Tower building 

INDIANAPOLIS – Building on more than a decade of operations in Marion County, OurHealth today announces the relocation of its corporate headquarters from the city’s northside to Market Tower in the heart of downtown Indianapolis’ business district. The company is hiring for dozens of open positions, including finance, member relations, IT and engineering roles at its headquarters. 

Founded in 2009, OurHealth’s system of industry-leading near-site clinics, called the MyClinic network, significantly lowers the barrier to entry by allowing employers to gain immediate access to a network of primary care clinics. The company operates primary care clinics in six states, including Indiana where it has been headquartered since its inception. OurHealth was formerly headquartered in OneAmerica Tower in downtown Indianapolis but it has been on the city’s northside since 2017.  

“We’re thrilled to be back in the heart of the city’s business district,” said CEO, Ben Evans. “Downtown Indy is flourishing more than ever, which is a perfect match for OurHealth’s thriving culture. We’re excited about our growing business and this move represents an opportunity to attract top talent whose energy and passion for improving patient lives and saving employers money matches ours.”  

OurHealth, the nation’s largest near-site healthcare clinic network, has recently undergone rapid growth, highlighted by its expansion into Cincinnati, Ohio, earlier this year.  

In addition to expanding its clinic footprint, OurHealth has grown its client roster across all markets. Harris Teeter, a supermarket chain in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Hamilton County, Ohio, in Cincinnati both recently joined OurHealth’s networks. Other clients include the City of Indianapolis and Marion County, City of Charlotte, Anthem, First Financial Bank and the Indianapolis Airport Authority.  

OurHealth is on a mission to save employers $1 billion in healthcare costs, and to date has saved its clients more than $160 million. The company takes a patient-focused approach to care, including waiting times of less than five minutes, appointments that average 20 – 40 minutes and a patient satisfaction score of 98 percent.  

 In 2018, OurHealth patients lost a combined 40,000 pounds and 32,000 points of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. OurHealth clients enjoy an average savings of 17 percent on health plan costs through better management of chronic conditions, ER avoidance and reduced lab and drug costs.

Supermarket chain is latest employer to join the Charlotte MyClinic network

CHARLOTTE (May 21, 2019) – OurHealth, the nation’s leading provider of near-site primary care clinics for employers, today announced a partnership with supermarket chain Harris Teeter.

OurHealth will provide a full suite of primary care services, including wellness screens, physicals, acute care and health coaching for the company’s more than 2,500 Charlotte-area associates and their covered dependents. Based in Matthews, North Carolina, Harris Teeter operates over 230 grocery stores and 14 fuel centers across the South Atlantic states.

OurHealth entered the Charlotte market in January 2016 with its system of industry-leading near-site clinics, called the MyClinic network, and today has five convenient locations around the city: Uptown, Tower Place, Northlake, Wilkinson Boulevard and Albemarle Crossing. The partnership with Harris Teeter adds to OurHealth’s growing client roster, which includes the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and Belk Department Stores.

The MyClinic network significantly lowers the barrier to entry by allowing employers to gain immediate access to a network of primary care clinics that are conveniently located within a 10-minute drive of the employee’s home or office. OurHealth’s MyClinic network includes seven clinics in Indianapolis and three in Cincinnati.

“Being an incredible place to work and shop starts with having associates who feel their best and provide world class service to our shoppers,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “Being healthy is a big part of that equation, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer our valued associates primary care through OurHealth.”

Employers are attracted to OurHealth’s model for three key reasons — improved access to care for their employees and their dependents, independence from any hospital system or network allowing for unbiased referrals and robust reporting capabilities that allow business owners to easily understand their return on investment.

“We’re excited to welcome Harris Teeter to our growing Charlotte MyClinic network,” said Ben Evans, OurHealth CEO and co-founder. “Savvy businesses are actively working to make an immediate impact on their health spending, and our model has proven an effective solution for our Charlotte partners.”

State of Indiana Opens Onsite Primary Care Clinic at Government Center

/in , , /by

Government Center Clinic by OurHealth brings convenient, affordable onsite healthcare to more than 7,500 state employees.

INDIANAPOLIS — Through a partnership with Indianapolis-based OurHealth, the State of Indiana has opened an onsite clinic at the Indiana Government Center. More than 16,000 state employees and their family members live or work nearby. Government Center Clinic by OurHealth, which begins operations today, provides comprehensive primary and immediate care medical services to covered employees and their families.

“Indiana is making great strides to improve quality of life for Hoosiers – and that includes improving access to healthcare,” Gov. Eric J. Holcomb said. “Offering medical care when and where it is most convenient for employees not only makes for a better workplace, it supports overall wellness.”

Founded in 2009, OurHealth provides employer-sponsored onsite and near-site primary care clinics and wellness programming. The company’s primary care model is designed to address three factors – patient access, quantifiable health improvements and overall cost.

The model leverages technology and data to learn unique organizational challenges and inform custom healthcare solutions addressing the needs of each workforce. Each solution embraces the growing body of research confirming more focused time with patients leads to a higher standard of care, and in turn, predictable savings.

Clinic providers are empowered to spend quality time with each patient, which further enhances individualized treatment plans and results in greater patient success.

“OurHealth provides employees and their families with the healthcare they need, when and where they need it, all while saving them and their employers a lot of money,” said OurHealth co-founder and CEO, Ben Evans. “As an Indiana-based company, we’re thrilled to partner with the State of Indiana to improve the health of thousands of Hoosiers while also generating measurable savings for Indiana taxpayers.”

The company currently operates clinics in Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

OurHealth clients enjoy an average savings of 17 percent on health plan costs through better management of chronic conditions, ER avoidance and reduced lab and drug costs. The company’s Indiana clients include a wide range of employers, including CNO Financial Group, Ice Miller, the Indianapolis Airport Authority and the City of Indianapolis.

The onsite clinic is one of several enhancements this year that promote a healthy workforce and reduce healthcare costs while supporting the State’s emphasis on engagement through wellness and clinic services. Onsite and online wellness coaches are now available to covered employees and spouses throughout the state, part of a program that rewards employees with reduced premiums and other incentives when they complete best practices for proactively supporting good health. And the State now offers an interactive online platform, also in conjunction with OurHealth, which engages participants in wellness activities and competitions linked to healthy living and overall wellbeing.

In addition to these benefits, the State is continuing a heightened focus on mental health as a critical component of well-being by increasing employee access and options in 2019 for counseling sessions with licensed therapists under its employee assistance program.

The company’s MyClinic network includes five clinic locations in Charlotte, seven in Indianapolis and three opening in Cincinnati in January 2019.

OurHealth is on a mission to save employers $1 billion in healthcare costs, and to date has saved its clients more than $140 million. The company is celebrated for its consistent approach to patient care, including bright and open clinics, waiting times of less than five minutes, appointments that average 20 – 40 minutes and a patient satisfaction score of 98%.

“Working in a state that understands the burden employers are under with rising healthcare costs and that values the delivery of quality care, transparency and affordability is a perfect match for our mission,” said co-founder and CEO Ben Evans. “The Charlotte MyClinic network began in 2016 with the City of Charlotte, and adding Mecklenburg County employees is a natural fit with our ability to provide excellent primary care services to the area’s government workers.”

OurHealth drives value for clients through customized primary care solutions, leveraging technology and data to learn each organization’s challenges and tailor programming to optimize results. Healthcare providers and clinical staff are empowered to spend quality time with each patient with a goal of creating individualized treatment plans to achieve greater patient success.

The company currently operates in Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

Last year, OurHealth patients lost a combined 33,000 pounds, 76,000 points of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and 2,000 points on hemoglobin A1C levels, which is the leading indicator for diabetes. Clients realized an average annual savings of 17 percent on healthcare costs, mostly in the form of reduced emergency room visits, savings on specialty referrals and reduced lab and medication costs.

OurHealth was founded in 2009 to solve three problems in the healthcare system: lack of access, poor health outcomes and unaffordable cost escalation for employees and employers.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, OurHealth expanded into North Carolina in 2016. In 2018, OurHealth announced the opening of its newest MyClinic network in Cincinnati. Its growing roster of clients includes the City of Charlotte, the City of Indianapolis, the City of Fishers, OneAmerica, CNO Financial Group and the Indianapolis Airport Authority.
