Read the case study

For a 24/7/365 convenience store operation, employee health is a business imperative. When a workforce never stops, keeping people healthy and engaged directly impacts the ability to serve customers. Could an onsite health model drive engagement, reduce costs, and deliver outcomes at scale? The Sheetz and Marathon Health partnership set out to answer that.

ABOUT SHEETZ

A family-owned business built on the health of its people

Who they are

Sheetz is a family-owned convenience store chain based in Altoona, Pennsylvania. With 24,000 employees eligible for care, the health of its people is central to its mission and its ability to serve customers around the clock.

A culture that puts people first

Sheetz's commitment to employee health reflects its founding family values. The company found a natural partner in Marathon Health. Sheetz moved forward, building a health center as part of a new 17,000-square-foot facility.

THE CHALLENGE

Keeping a round-the-clock workforce healthy and engaged

For Sheetz, a 24/7/365 operation, managing the health of a large, distributed workforce and controlling rising healthcare costs was a major challenge. The company needed a proactive, accessible, and scalable solution to keep employees healthy and engaged without sacrificing care quality.

  • Employees at high risk for chronic conditions needed consistent care

  • Moderate-risk employees required proactive engagement

  • Rising healthcare claims costs demanded a measurable, sustainable solution

Without a dedicated healthcare infrastructure, Sheetz faced rising claims costs and lower employee engagement. Sheetz needed a partner to meet employees where they are, build lasting relationships, and deliver measurable results.

THE MARATHON HEALTH SOLUTION

Onsite health centers designed to meet employees where they are

Dedicated onsite health centers built for Sheetz

A multidisciplinary care team under one roof

Each health center unites a team of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dietitians, and physical therapists. This ensures employees receive comprehensive, coordinated care.

Engagement for high- and moderate-risk employees

Marathon Health’s model prioritizes outreach for employees most at risk. By building trusted relationships and delivering personalized care, the program drives meaningful health changes.

satisfaction score among employees using Marathon Health onsite health centers

  • We looked at eight or nine onsite healthcare vendors nationally. Marathon felt different than the others. They all have solid metrics and plans, but Marathon Health just felt a lot like us — they had a great internal culture, which we knew would resonate when trying to engage our employees.
