The\u00a0health\u00a0of union members and their families\u00a0is a top priority for any union leader.\u00a0Unfortunately,\u00a0assuring high quality healthcare services for a diverse population isn\u2019t easy:\u00a0The\u00a0cost of care going up\u00a0around the country,\u00a0provider shortages are making it more difficult to\u00a0see a doctor, and, even when members do get care, appointments may be short and impersonal, facilitated by providers who keep their hand on the doorknob the whole visit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With challenges stacking up against them,\u00a0where do leaders turn\u00a0when they want to guarantee their members have access to\u00a0best-in-class care that treats them like whole people?\u00a0The answer\u00a0is simple:\u00a0A direct healthcare partner\u00a0who\u00a0can offer\u00a0union\u00a0members the care they need, whenever and however they need it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By\u00a0partnering with unions and benefits funds to\u00a0provide\u00a0no-cost\u00a0acute and preventive\u00a0care at locations central for union workers and their families,\u00a0<\/span>a direct healthcare partner<\/span><\/a>\u00a0makes care more accessible, personalized, and even enjoyable for members, with an in-depth understanding of the specific health risks that face union populations.\u00a0From late-night virtual appointments to more in-depth physicals, this care goes beyond\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0possible in a community healthcare setting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0just a few\u00a0true stories of how\u00a0direct healthcare has\u00a0impacted\u00a0the real lives of union workers across the U.S.:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning a screening exam into an early diagnosis<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For one member, what\u00a0began as a routine screening\u00a0at a union-backed\u00a0wellness center\u00a0turned into a life-saving early cancer diagnosis, thanks to a provider\u2019s thorough care and encouragement to schedule an overdue annual physical.\u00a0Together, the provider and\u00a0member worked to develop a plan that gave the member confidence in their treatment and even supported genetic testing for the member\u2019s children.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This\u00a0timely\u00a0intervention not only supported the member\u2019s health but also helped avoid a potential high-cost claim for their\u00a0fund\u2019s\u00a0health\u00a0plan. If care had not been readily available, the member might have received a delayed diagnosis with\u00a0major impacts to the members\u2019 health and the cost of their treatment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0When providers can spend more time with patients\u00a0and are able to build trusting relationships,\u00a0they can\u00a0identify\u00a0more than surface-level health concerns. This approach to treatment can lead to early identification of life-changing, expensive conditions, so union members\u00a0can\u00a0get, stay, and be well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A midnight tooth infection thwarted by virtual care<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When a painful tooth infection flared up at an inconvenient time,\u00a0access to virtual care meant\u00a0another\u00a0member could get fast, effective treatment \u2014without the ER wait or high co-pay.\u00a0After noticing swelling in their mouth, they contacted a\u00a0Premise virtual\u00a0primary care provider,\u00a0received a diagnosis at midnight,\u00a0and had antibiotics in hand by morning, all from the comfort of home\u00a0with no large\u00a0emergency\u00a0room copay\u00a0or long wait.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Illness\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0always happen when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0most convenient\u00a0and with varied shifts and responsibilities,\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0convenient for one union member might not be for another.\u00a0When unions include virtual primary care as part of their benefits automatically, it means that members\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have to put off addressing their health needs for anything \u2013 whether\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0a night shift, a vacation, or a long day on the\u00a0road\u00a0to and from the job site.\u00a0And when they can get care earlier, they can\u00a0get back to work and life sooner.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Care that gets to the heart of underlying health conditions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

During a visit for an unrelated issue, a Premise Health nurse practitioner noticed\u00a0signs of a\u00a0serious heart concern\u00a0in one member\u00a0and insisted on further evaluation\u00a0from a specialist.\u00a0After connecting with a\u00a0referred\u00a0cardiologist, the member said that this early detection and refusal to overlook warning signs\u00a0ultimately\u00a0ended\u00a0up saving their life.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When providers have more time to spend with members, it gives them a better chance of\u00a0identifying\u00a0dangerous underlying health conditions.\u00a0And even when those\u00a0health concerns\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0be treated directly at\u00a0<\/span>an onsite wellness center<\/span><\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0direct healthcare teams\u00a0can help guide members to high-value specialists that provide the best possible care and\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0break the bank.\u00a0Meanwhile, members\u00a0still have the support of the care team at their wellness center\u00a0medical home\u00a0to answer questions\u00a0and continue quarterbacking their preventive and acute care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Behavioral health resources that meet members where they are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The stigma around\u00a0getting\u00a0mental health care can make it challenging for union members to tap into the resources they need to stay healthy.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0why one behavioral health provider at a wellness center in the Midwest has been reaching\u00a0their member population with quarterly webinars covering mental health topics. At one\u00a0session, 50 members joined to discuss their experiences with grief over the holidays \u2013\u00a0offering the support they needed and building trust in\u00a0their onsite\u00a0care team.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes members don\u2019t feel comfortable speaking to a behavioral health provider one-on-one, but that doesn\u2019t mean that they have to forgo care.\u00a0<\/span>Offering convenient, free behavioral health\u00a0resources<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 whether\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0in the\u00a0health center\u00a0or from the comfort of home –\u00a0can\u00a0remind members that they\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0alone in managing mental health challenges, substance abuse,\u00a0grief\u00a0or stress, and\u00a0empowers\u00a0them to seek the treatment they need without judgement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start writing a success story for your members<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Providing dedicated care to your organization\u2019s members\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0just make care more convenient and affordable \u2013 it can also save lives.\u00a0Whether\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0staying healthy on the job, taking care of their families,\u00a0managing a condition, or just looking\u00a0to refill their medications, union members can find the care they need and more\u00a0with direct healthcare benefits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s\u00a0why\u00a0<\/span>Premise\u00a0Health\u00a0gives unions access to integrated care<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that meets members where they are, understands their\u00a0trade, and takes time to dig deep into their\u00a0healthcare concerns.\u00a0It’s\u00a0something that members\u00a0won’t\u00a0find in the community, and it makes all the difference when it comes to satisfaction with their benefits.\u00a0Ready to\u00a0start a journey to better health for your members?\u00a0<\/span>Contact us today.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n
