Almost 1 out of 5 healthcare jobs in the State of Wisconsin are located in the Madison Region.
As a result, the competitiveness of the healthcare industry has a direct impact on the economic well being of not only those stakeholders that pay for care but those that provide care in our region.
Under Thrive's leadership, thirty-plus healthcare leaders have formed the Healthcare Leadership Collaborative (HLC) to find collective approaches to address common opportunities and challenges. Currently, the HLC is targeting workforce wellness through a collaborative initiative called Working for Health. Formal wellness programs like this have provided a return on investment of almost $6:$1 through reduced absenteeism and overall costs, a benefit that businesses across the spectrum can realize.
Objective:
Increase the number of formal wellness programs, especially and including those within with the region's healthcare systems, as a first-step towards more comprehensive programs region-wide.
