Maintaining
A Healthy & Productive Workforce
You Can't
Afford to Cover Your Employees ...
The high cost of health insurance leads many employers to limit, and in
some cases forego, healthcare coverage for their employees.
You Can't
Afford Not to Cover Your Employees ...
Without health insurance, employees find it easier to ignore health problems
than to seek care when they need it. Absenteeism due to illness of employees
or their children can decrease productivity.
A Community
Challenge
Lack of adequate health care coverage threatens the welfare of all: the
individual worker, his or her family, the employer, and the community
they're part of. But even when health insurance is offered, many employees
cannot afford their share of monthly premiums.
The Gilead
Center Workplace Initiative
The Gilead Center is currently conducting two pilot workplace projects
with area employers. The goal is to enroll uninsured employees in health
benefit programs for which they qualify.
