  Obesity Management and GLP Cost Mitigation

  October 16, 2024

  Obesity is a chronic disease and growing epidemic linked to countless physical and metabolic health dysfunctions in the United States. The recent pharmaceutical developments with GLP-1 medications and their achievement of weight loss outcomes have created quite a stir in the approach and ongoing management of this condition.

Join this webinar to:

  • Enhance your understanding of GLP-1 medications and their role in weight management
  • Learn how to build an effective and responsible weight management program as part of your overall benefit strategy
  • Leverage your worksite health center to enhance your weight management benefit offering and drive meaningful and sustainable outcomes

  From Diagnosis to Daily Living: Empowered Patients and Providers

  November 4, 2024

  11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

  Let’s engage in thought-provoking discussions on the future of healthcare: How can we dismantle the traditional hierarchy and create a more collaborative approach to care? How can technology enhance therapeutic relationships, reduce fragmented care, and improve health equity? Let’s explore these questions and more as we shape the next era of chronic disease care delivery.

  Featured Speaker:

  Prerana Rudrapatna MD, DipABLM, BHSc., Chief Medical Liaison, My Viva Inc.

  

  Dr. Prerana Rudrapatna is a physician entrepreneur and educator who champions a growth mindset towards health and wellness, integrating the evidence-based principles of lifestyle medicine. Currently serving as the Chief Medical Liaison at My Viva Inc., Dr. Prerana focuses on integrating digital health into primary and specialty care settings to enhance patient self-efficacy and optimize care delivery models for chronic disease management.
  
  Dr. Prerana's academic and professional journey began with a focus on health promotion. Her experiences at the Ontario Ministry of Health provided insights into systemic-level change and laid a strong foundation for her medical career. Her international clinical experiences in St. Vincent and Chicago exposed her to diverse health systems, where she built meaningful relationships with patients facing trauma. These experiences deeply influenced her approach, prompting her to emphasize care that transcends the typical clinical setting.
  
  Earning a diploma in lifestyle medicine strengthened her clinical understanding, allowing Dr. Prerana to transition focus to coaching patients to take ownership of their health. She is now dedicated to sharing knowledge such that other healthcare providers feel empowered in adopting a relationship-centered care model that fosters stronger therapeutic relationships and brings joy into clinical practice.

  2025 On-Site Employee Health & Wellness Centers Summit

  This event is being produced by World Conference Forum

  NAWHC Members receive a $250 discount with code NAW250

  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 2025 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.

  Register today to reserve your seat at the conference and take advantage of early bird discounts.

  We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!
