Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a complex problem, but much of it is preventable, predictable, and treatable. It requires a set of solutions - not just one - that can tackle the root causes of pain and get ahead of the issues before expensive, and often unnecessary interventions become the only option.

Disparities In Cancer: Exploring Inequalities and How Employers Can Help

Cancer is the #1 ranked medical fear for Americans, and 51% of cancer patients incur medical debt as a result of their diagnosis. Unfortunately, the challenge is made worse for employees also struggling with social and health inequalities. Addressing social inequities is becoming a top strategic priority for employers, and cancer screening and prevention is an area where change is both possible and impactful. In this session, we will explore how cancer disproportionately impacts minority employees and what forward-thinking employers can do right now to help improve access to care and ultimately save lives.

A New Prescription for Heart Health: Going Beyond Medications

GLP-1s have recently been demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk - the #1 killer of Americans. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that medications for CVD alone are much less effective without behavioral and lifestyle modifications. In fact, in many head-to-head comparisons, outcomes like blood pressure reduction, weight loss, and cholesterol reduction are greater in those following a behavioral intervention vs taking medication alone. During this session, large employers will address the decrease in CVDrelated utilization they saw in participants when a simple, cost-effective digital heart health solution was implemented alongside effective medication management. We will also discuss the sustainability of these changes as compared with other therapies.

Fertility benefits make it possible for employees to access treatments like IVF. But for the best health outcomes, support shouldn't stop - or start - with care access alone.

HR leaders walk a fine line between wanting to offer the best care and needing to be fiscally responsible. Learn how obesity step therapy can reduce costs by right-sizing care. With this clinically proven approach, those who need a GLP-1 will be prescribed one, but those who don't will get another, less costly treatment.

Helping Employees Prepare for Health Care Costs in Retirement

Many employees today may not be prepared for the realities of health care costs in retirement — underestimating the total f unds needed and demonstrating a significant knowledge gap in how to pay for care. This gap reveals a stark divide between the reality of being financially prepared for health costs in retirement and what employees think they will need. Innovative employers can provide retiree health cost education, direct employees to Medicare and other health care planning resources, and even provide health benefit accounts that build assets to pay for retiree health costs. Attend this session and:

  • Learn how to use health benefit accounts to help employees build retirement health savings
  • Understand how to develop a road map of insurance choices for employees to bridge to Medicare
  • Discover often overlooked ways to educate and support employees as they near retirement
