Letter from the CEO
Dear Friends:

Happy New Year! May 2010 bring us all health, happiness and prosperity.

As always, LifeCare is here to help our clients achieve all of these goals. In fact, we took another important step toward doing so on January 1, when our Total Health SolutionsSM program went live.

THS is designed to help clients take aim at the soaring healthcare costs, absenteeism and productivity losses caused by employees' unhealthy behaviors—and those of their families.

THS is an extension of our longstanding health and wellness programs but it's also much more. It's the culmination of our 25-year history in the health and productivity arena. It's the only wellness solution backed by 30 years of research and clinical trials. And it's the result of a tremendous team effort that included input from our client organizations, the work of our own subject matter experts, and an exciting new partnership with renowned behavior change expert, Dr. James Prochaska, creator of the highly successful Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change.

One of the things that make THS unique is its combination of three features:

  1. Universal Engagement — THS engages every member of an organization, including family members, with personalized wellness plans and resources.

  2. High-Tech, High-Touch Case Management — We've created proprietary technology and case management platforms specifically for THS, enabling an unprecedented level of interaction with and support for members.

  3. Evidence-Based Lifestyle Management Programs — Supported by three decades of research and clinical trials, THS lifestyle management programs have proven to be up to three times more effective at reducing costs and lowering risks than other lifestyle programs.

THS offers you the following components, which we can deliver as a whole or in any combination:

  • Health assessments
  • Self-guided lifestyle management programs
  • Telephonic lifestyle management programs
  • Biometric screenings
  • Incentive management

Be sure to contact LifeCare to learn more about THS and how it delivers the kind of measurable, sustainable results you need.

Sincerely,

Peter G. Burki
