September Chamber Luncheon on Healthcare

 

The September Chamber monthly luncheon was a very successful and informative event. Kirk Keller, Lead Health Strategist for Two Medicine Health spoke to the Cheyenne Business Community about how to keep healthcare costs low in a strained economy. His message was simple and direct. Employee health is not just a benefits issue. It must be made an operations issue and not left to chance since it is an issue that impacts operations as well as profits. Doing nothing about employee healthcare is a decision with very definable costs because the cost of waiting for people to get sick far exceeds the cost of helping people stay healthy. There will be a seminar on employee healthcare sponsored by the Wyoming Department of Health on October 13th & 14th with Dr. Dee Eddington from the University of Michigan.
Two Medicine Health is a company that helps provide strategies to maximize the value of employee health management for your company and your employees. Much of the work that Two Medicine does in Wyoming is sponsored by the Wyoming Department of Health. If you are interested in learning more about what Two Medicine can do for your company, please contact Kirk Keller at 406-451-3017 or kkeller@twomedicinehealth.com
