Eagle Group Opens Onsite Clinic Metalcaster Eagle Group, Muskeg-
on, Mich., has opened a medical clinic onsite in cooperation with two other local manufacturers. Eagle Group, Fleet Engineers and Port City Group have developed the Muskegon Manufacturers Health and Wellness Clinics to improve employees’ health. “It was from another initiative that we
three manufacturing companies started,” said John Workman, co-owner, Eagle Group. “We were starting a ‘health
insurance captive’ to invite smaller compa- nies to become self- insured. What it has turned into is a ‘col- laborative,’ where we three manufacturers are moving toward a common health care plan along with a common wellness program.”
Eagle Group also plans to use the clinic for workplace injuries. T e three companies have existing
wellness programs. Eagle’s includes health risk assessments, biometric test- ing, several meetings annually with a health coach about health goals, healthy lifestyle classes and body mass index (BMI) testing. “T ose that voluntarily enroll in
our wellness program receive incentive dollars for participating,” said Workman. “We have found our self-insured health care costs have increased minimally. Our current cost per employee per month is the same as 2009. We would like to think our wellness program has some- thing to do with that.” “We look forward to providing
our employees with convenient access to healthcare,” said Workman. “T e clinics, along with a 24/7 call service provided, will give our employees the appropriate care and advice to better manage their own health and that of their family. We do feel that it may also help control costs by identifying health issues at an early stage. Bottom line, it seems like the right thing to do.” T e Eagle Group clinic and a
second site near Fleet Engineers and Port City Group provide employees with free access to a wide range of medical services. Both clinics are oper- ated by ProMedico, a provider of clinic management services and product of Lighthouse Group Insurance, which has a branch in Muskegon. T e clinics are not intended to re-
place a patient’s primary care physician but to create a more all-encompassing system of healthcare. Both locations are staff ed with professional physician’s as- sistants, nurse practitioners and a medi- cal director to provide oversight.
