How a Health Conscious Culture & Wellness Portal Delivered Holistic Wellness

Discover how Hamilton Health Care, a nonprofit health care system, has created a strong and supportive health conscious environment that has fully embraced a wellness culture.

When it comes to health care providers many promote wellness but there are few who are successful in a proactive and progressive approach to wellness for their own employees. Typically, the approach to wellness programs is reactive mode in response to managing diseases instead of managing health and wellbeing as a whole. With organizations that are effective at promoting a holistic wellness approach instead you’ll typically find a health conscious corporate culture and an understanding leadership playing a large role in that success.

A Health Conscious Culture

Hamilton Health Care, a nonprofit health care system located in northwest Georgia, is a prime example of an organization that has worked diligently at creating a strong and supportive health conscious environment that has fully embraced a wellness culture. However, even with all the right ingredients for a successful wellness program in place, it’s not always smooth sailing. When road blocks arise in any situation, depending on how proactive and progressive an organization is can make all the difference in improving outcomes.

Hamilton Health Care has a long-standing commitment to the health and wellness needs of its employees.

They knew leading a healthy lifestyle was important to their employees and having a successful corporate wellness program was critical to helping them achieve this.

“I must say I've only been a part of this wellness journey for about 4 weeks, and I can already tell that it is about more than just being healthy. Here at Hamilton, the employees are truly expressing what is meant to have a Healthy Lifestyle. I'm happy to be a part of an organization that helps me stay focused every step of the way to successfully complete my healthy lifestyle journey.”

When it was apparent their wellness technology did not align with their goals and that it was hindering the success of their wellness program, they knew they needed to improve the situation. Some of their wellness program’s top priorities were efficient customization and communication abilities and both were proving to be difficult to achieve with their provider at the time. They were also faced with a lack of customer service and timely responses to issues that were harming their wellness program. It was time to take action.
