As your clients continue to search for ways to control ballooning health care costs, you can help by pointing them toward two solutions that already exist: employer-sponsored on-site and near-site health clinics. These sorts of clinics have a proven record of positively impacting the health issues that contribute most to high health costs. Many small employers believe such clinics are impossible, or at least impractical for their work force, but you can help shatter that misconception.

Download this white paper now to help clients understand why these clinics can make a difference and help control health care costs, even for smaller organizations. You will learn:
