Marathon Health can help you successfully implement Advanced Primary Care with the following steps:

1. Consultation and customization

We start by taking the time to really get to know you and your company’s needs and goals. We work closely with you to craft Marathon Health solutions that fit your exact needs. Your experienced sales consultant will make sure you understand all your options so you can select what works for you. You’ll even receive a customized ROI analysis during the process, so you’ll know what to expect financially and can promote internal buy-in across your organization.  

2. Establishing onsite or nearsite centers (or adding virtual care)

Our onsite or nearsite centers are tailored to meet the specific requirements that will be most beneficial to your workforce. Every Marathon Health center is easily accessible and fully equipped to offer up to 90% of primary care needs. We’ll also explore the option for virtual care access if your population would benefit from it. 

3. Building a team of healthcare professionals

A successful Marathon Health implementation relies heavily on finding the right healthcare professionals. Marathon uses expert providers who genuinely care about patient well-being. They all have the experience, talent, and empathy to enhance health outcomes and improve member satisfaction. 

4. Using advanced data

We live in a digital age, and Marathon has embraced the use of technology to dramatically enhance healthcare services. From scheduling appointments to offering analytics that help you make data-driven decisions about what’s most needed for your population, Marathon Health is at the forefront of technology.  

5. Creating a culture of health within your organization

Establishing a culture of health means more than just creating a single wellness program or offering annual checkups. With Marathon Health as your partner, you can successfully cultivate an environment that’s embedded into every aspect of work – from meetings to emails to breaks. 

Create an organization-wide culture of health by:

• Fostering open conversations about mental and physical health: Promote open discussions about health to break down barriers.
  • HOW: Get resources for leadership and implement training sessions on active listening skills and empathy.
    
    
• Making healthy choices easy: Provide healthy snacks in the breakroom or organize lunchtime walks or fitness programs.
  • HOW: Nutritional counseling services, fitness programs, and stress management workshops will all encourage healthier habits.
    
    
• Instituting comprehensive primary care services: Advanced Primary Care lets you provide accessible care options where employees need them most.
  • HOW: Offer in-person care at onsite or nearsite centers or add virtual access for those too far to access your care centers.
    
    
• Incorporating mental health care: Make mental health awareness and care a priority in your organization.
  • HOW: Create mental wellness policies like days off, free meditation apps, or flex scheduling options to promote a positive mental health culture.
