A regional healthcare provider with six locations, including VA healthcare centers and community-based outpatient clinics, was seeking accessible and affordable fitness-focused wellness solutions to address the diverse needs of its approximately 1200 employees and the veterans it serves.
The organization aimed to expand its limited group fitness offerings and establish a comprehensive whole-health and wellness solution for healthcare providers that would be easily accessible and utilized by employees and clients alike.
Wellbeats Wellness, a product of LifeSpeak Inc., has exceeded the healthcare provider’s expectations, delivering a comprehensive fitness solution that caters to the diverse needs of their populations. Classes spanning fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness offer something for all veterans and employees, regardless of their interests, ability, or lifestyle.
“Classes are great, and we’ve had good utilization … If the individual person says, ‘I just feel better,’ that’s a success.”
According to John M., a director at the health care provider, “We focus on what is important to the veteran and then help them develop a personal health plan surrounding the kinds of areas in their life that may be impacting their overall health and wellbeing in a negative fashion.”
Accessibility has improved across the board with Wellbeats. Inside clinics, Wellbeats content is available using laptops and TVs. The clinic also uses a computer on wheels to make the system even more flexible internally. Wellbeats also allows the clinic to offer classes outside the facility on personal portable devices.
In the first year of contracting Wellbeats, around 20 percent of eligible employees were already actively using the platform.
“Classes are great, and we’ve had good utilization,” John said. “If the individual person says, ‘I just feel better,’ that’s a success.”
Veterans are enjoying Wellbeats as well. Navy veteran Sally P. was one of a handful of veterans who recently attended a Wellbeats Tai Chi class at a VA outpatient center.
“In the military, we served during wartime, and you know, wore ourselves out a little,” Sally said. “And, come here knowing there’s a place that cares about me—that looks at every aspect from psychology to medicine to the holistic nutrition—it’s just wonderful.”
Wellbeats Wellness has proven to be a valuable fitness solution for health care providers, outpatient clinics, and VA centers, offering a wide range of classes in fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness. With a focus on accessibility and affordability, Wellbeats helps organizations create a comprehensive whole-health and wellness program for their employees and clients.
