Pennsylvania employers face rising costs and a workforce managing complex health needs. Nearly half of adults have delayed care due to cost. The question isn't whether to act—it's how to act strategically. Advanced primary care (APC) offers a proven path: proactive, prevention-first care that shifts spending away from reactive treatment and toward measurable, lasting results.

CHALLENGES PENNSYLVANIA EMPLOYERS FACE

From rising costs to real results: what APC solves for Pennsylvania employers

A workforce managing more chronic conditions than ever

In Pennsylvania, 13.5% of residents live with three or more chronic conditions. Without proactive care, these conditions escalate into costly acute episodes—straining both benefits budgets and employee health.

Provider shortages leaving employees without timely care

Pennsylvania has 461,000 residents in primary care shortage areas. When employees can't access timely care, conditions worsen—leading to avoidable ED visits, hospitalizations, and higher claims costs for employers.

Rising costs with no clear strategy to control them

In 2026, 51% of U.S. organizations plan to shift rising healthcare costs to employees. Pennsylvania employers need a strategy that controls costs at the source—not one that passes the burden to the people they depend on.
