Why Health Assurance is our Passion

Chief Executive Officer
Our story started in 2007 with…

They cared so much for their employees, they hired the physician from a professional baseball team to keep them productive and pain free at work and home.
They are still a national BHS customer…
Today we are leaders in health assurance…
We coined the term “health assurance” as innovators that discovered and combined the best ingredients of corporate wellness, occupational health, soft tissue healthcare, and screening / prevention tools for employee health.
Then we used technology to tie it all together to deliver a measurable impact for U.S. companies.
