Join us in Nashville, TN on June 4 for HCTN's Employer Conference - Creating Value-Based Benefits that Last: Building the Foundation for Success! Register here: https://lnkd.in/dRQjSKTU Many benefits leaders ask, “Will I leave my company’s benefits better than I found them?” Great benefit programs endure and stand the test of time. HCTN’s regional conference series will explore how, in such a dynamic healthcare environment marked by high inflation, lack of transparency, and increasing chronic illness, employers can build benefits that last. Employers will be challenged to rethink how to center “value” as the cornerstone of an effective and sustainable benefits program - benefits that are valued by both organizational leadership and its members! ? HCTN’s Nashville regional conference will address foundational elements that must be in place to sustain value-based benefits. Topics will include plan governance, identifying and managing the chronically ill, sourcing high value care, and the importance of strategic partnerships. Join HCTN for this exciting and actionable conference. Come ready to network with peers and find solutions to address the benefits needs of an ever-changing workforce. You don’t want to miss this event!

Register today to attend HCTN's Advanced Primary Care to Improve Chronic Disease Webinar on April 9, 2025, 10 am-11:30 am ET. Tennessee ranks 48th nationally in terms of adults with multiple chronic disease, leading to an estimated $5.3 billion of additional cost burden from direct medical expenses, lost productivity, and premature death. The evidence is clear that high quality advanced primary care should be part of the solution by improving health outcomes, access, and affordability for patients. In this webinar we will outline what high quality advanced primary care means, how it is being evaluated by other purchasers/employers, and its demonstrated benefit to improving chronic disease and total cost of care. Learn how you can bring Advanced Primary Care as a benefit to your employees and families with HealthcareTN. ? Join HealthCareTN and your employer peers to hear from our expert speakers to learn more about Advanced Primary Care and how this patient-centered approach can make a meaningful difference in your employees’ health and wellbeing, while also controlling healthcare costs. ?
