The Business Health Forum’s programs catalyze the movement towards sustainable reform by connecting employers with practical health care solutions, decision makers, and each other.

Forums

The Business Health Forum offers Forums as a means of educating employers and related organizations, as well as information gathering – taking a pulse on the business community’s perspective on various health care policy and organizational solutions.

The presentations are designed to be highly interactive sessions, using technology that allows for anonymous audience responses. The group’s responses are immediately available to the audience and help guide discussion of current health care issues. The Business Health Forum can also integrate a specific presentation’s data with that of previous forums to gain a more statistically accurate idea of where employers stand on health care issues.

Forums may be customized to cover one-three hours and focus on legislative proposals, practical solutions employers can apply within their own organizations, or both. Audience size ranges from ten to over one hundred participants. We can travel to your preferred location to present a Forum.

Health Solutions

The Business Health Forum provides more detailed “how-to” sessions on specific topics related to health reform, such as How to Build a Culture of Health. Currently under development, is an interactive session employers can use to help understand their employees’ needs and motivations and aid in benefit design. Future topics include additional wellness areas, Section 125 plans, and other health policy subjects. The presentations incorporate the interactive technology used in our Forums, allowing for immediate audience feedback and encouraging participation. Current offerings:

Building a Culture of Health with Low to No Cost Resources
In today’s trying times Businesses are trying to do more with less.  It can be a struggle to get approval for programs such as wellness, nutrition, physical activity or setting an environment and policies that would help establish a culture of health in your organization.  This program will teach you:

• How to provide low and no cost health resources within your own organization
• Where you can find other resources in your local community and nationally
• How to effectively use them

Perspectives

The Business Health Forum is recognized as a resource and voice for the business community.  Through the audience feedback captured at the Forums, we can provide an accurate representation of the business perspective on health care issues to community leaders, policy makers, the media and other interested parties. Additionally, the Business Health Forum can help identify stories from real business owners regarding their frustrations with the health care system, how they are controlling costs, or promoting health and wellness within their own companies. We also bring the business voice to coalitions, chambers of commerce and other groups through our participation and presentations on our findings.
