About NAWHC

NAWHC

The National Association of Worksite Health Centers (NAWHC) is a not for profit, 501(c)3 organization focused on assisting public and private employers, unions and other sponsors of worksite health programs in getting the greatest return from their onsite and near-site clinics, employer member health centers, onsite pharmacies, and wellness centers.

NAWHC also provides opportunities for those vendors, suppliers and consultants that support worksite health facilities and programs to interact with and learn about employers who offer onsite and near-site centers.

NAWHC was formed on May 5, 2011 by Larry Boress, then CEO of the non-profit Midwest Business Group on Health (MBGH), in cooperation with The La Penna Group. For interviews and media activities on National Association of Worksite Health Centers contact Larry Boress at boress@nawhc,org.

Objectives

•  Enabling and increasing the exchange of information and experiences between employer-sponsors of worksite health facilities
   
•  Offering practical and objective information for those examining this approach, as to how these facilities can be part of a total health care strategy that increases productivity, reduces costs and enhances engagement in health management programs
   
•  Advocating for employers and other sponsors of worksite health facilities and programs
   
•  Assisting sponsors of worksite health facilities in evaluating the ROI of their facilities, as well as the performance of their partner vendors.

Leadership

The association is led by a board of directors composed of leading employer-sponsors and vendors who support employer health centers and other onsite and near-site services.  There is also a Medical Director Council of physician thought-leaders from employers, providers, consultants and vendors to advise NAWHC on clinical issues, medical programs and how to increase the effectiveness and outcomes of these facilities.
