Wellness Programs

Welborn Health Plans (WHP) believes in wellness & preventive health. To further promote this belief, WHP developed Welcare!. Welcare! is a comprehensive wellness program offered to WHP's employer groups. In fact, we can even customize a wellness program for you and your employees.

 

The Welcare! program was created out of a desire to better serve our community's wellness needs. With our wealth of experience, we have developed this comprehensive wellness program, which is facilitated by qualified health professionals.

 

This value-added service is yet another example of WHP's commitment to health promotion and wellness.

EMPLOYER-BASED FEE FOR SERVICE:

 

  • Health Care Advocate: A HCA nurse will spend a designated number of hours on-site at your company each week, time and day to be determined by each individual company. Involving a HCA is most beneficial to corporate wellness programs because of the one-on-one quality of individual counseling those employees receive. Best of all, we would build those one-on-one relationships with your employees to improve their health risks—ultimately with a reduction in long-term health care expenses. Our HCA program is completely confidential.
 

• Non-members: May also participate in the above programs/services.
