  Rounding Out Direct Primary Care with Employee Wellness

  November 19, 2025

  11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

  
  

  The Big Beautiful Bill and corporatization of healthcare are incentivizing the use of Direct Primary Care (DPC) models in the workplace. The next logical step for employers and providers is to incorporate worksite wellness initiatives into the DPC model. This will accomplish at least two goals: 1) achieve economic efficiency by integrating two otherwise separate initiatives (medical care and employee wellness); and 2) offer employees more holistic care that focuses not only on managing disease and illness, but also allowing primary care providers to truly work on preventing disease through employee lifestyle and community improvements.
  
  This webinar will address how healthcare corporatization is adversely impacting both employers and physicians, how DPC models can align with workplace wellness initiatives, and how the combination of DPC and employee wellness can tackle a glaring problem with current medical care delivery, which fails to adequately engage in preventive care. Attendees will leave the webinar armed with a plan to make significant strides in employee wellbeing.

  We are currently at a crucial point in time for corporate healthcare – employers are operating in a political and economic situation that has considerably evolved. Building and expanding onsite employee health centers has become an imperative in enabling employers to offer competitive benefits, control costs, and provide quality healthcare to employees. Moreover, employers must redefine their corporate healthcare strategy, and innovation will be key to success!

  The opportunities and challenges facing onsite health centers have drastically changed over the past year. Healthcare reform has made its way to center stage on all matters related to healthcare, and onsite employee health centers are no exception. Employers are aggressively seeking innovative means to cut back on corporate healthcare costs, and onsite employee health centers have proven to be an effective way to significantly reduce those healthcare costs, and ultimately, have a positive impact on the company’s bottom line.

  By attending the 2026 Onsite Employee Health & Wellness Centers Summit, you will learn what it takes to build and streamline facilities that meet innovative visions for healthcare and wellness. You will also learn the benefits associated with expanding current onsite health facilities. Furthermore, you will walk away with practical solutions to operate a cost-effective healthcare program while providing quality healthcare.
