Businesses today, both large and small, are faced with the challenge of controlling health insurance costs. A driving factor in controlling these costs is the health of your employees. Consider that:

• $73 billion - annual cost of obesity among full-time employees
• 67% of our workforce is overweight or obese
• 1 in 3 Americans has high blood pressure
• 1 in 4 Americans has heart disease
• 17.2% of adults in NC use tobacco products
• Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death and disease in NC
• Productivity losses linked to employees who miss work cost employers $225.8 billion or $1,685 per employee each year

In today’s competitive market, the recruiting, hiring, and retaining of employees is a significant challenge. Our Corporate Health programs are tools that assist in creating a workplace culture, which helps to differentiate your business and demonstrates your commitment to the health of your employees.

Catawba Valley Health System will work with you to help develop a specific plan, tailored to your needs. We offer employers a full suite of programs and services to address your needs from the time the employment offer is made through the entirety of the employee’s time with your company.

“Since collaborating with CVMG, both the quality and quantity of health services being offered to our students at Lenoir-Rhyne University have drastically increased. We have had increasing amounts of students seeking services, as well as been able to offer more on site testing and continued care. The students have also reported feeling heard and supported by the providers CVMG has had in our clinic.

Additionally we have expanded health services and they are now offered to graduate students and faculty and staff, as well as beginning offering tele-health services to our Asheville campus and beginning the summer of 2019, we will begin offering health services 2 days a week, for the very first time.“

Catawba Valley Medical Center Rehabilitation Center has been a great partner to Catawba County Human Resources.

The Rehabilitation Center has been very instrumental in the County’s ability to hire employees that are physically able to perform the essential functions of the job. The physical therapist we worked with spent an extensive amount of time with our employees evaluating the physical demands and tasks of the jobs. This promoted relations with the County Emergency Medical Services Department. The Rehabilitation Center is very accommodating in scheduling assessments and responding to questions or requests.
