Everything's bigger in Texas!
Happy Friday Disclonauts! If you noticed some radio silence from us, no need to worry. The Disclo team was off two-stepping in Austin, Texas for Disclo's first annual team retreat. However, just because we were taking things slow in the lone-star state doesn't mean the rest of the world was. We have a great new edition of Full Disclosure packed with resources and news.
Full Disclosure is our weekly newsletter, helping you stay informed with up-to-date news, resources, and thought-provoking discussion to help further bridge the gap between employee health and work.
We hope you stick around, but if this isn’t something you’re interested in feel free to unsubscribe. (please don't)

We are hosting Dr. Marissa Wagner Mery, and discussing the long-term outcomes of patients following unexpected injury or acute illness, and how employers and physicians can work better together to return more people back to work.
