Caring for Caregivers: Lifepoint Health Partners with Wellhub to Enhance Employee Wellbeing

NEW YORK, NY and BRENTWOOD, TN (October 22, 2024) – Lifepoint Health, a diversified healthcare delivery network dedicated to making communities healthier®, today announced a strategic partnership with Wellhub, the corporate wellness platform, to provide holistic wellbeing benefits to its employees. 

Lifepoint Health’s employees now have access to Wellhub’s diverse network of wellness resources, including gyms, studios, and digital apps across fitness, mindfulness, health, nutrition, and sleep.  With 70% of its workforce comprising direct clinical caregivers such as Registered Nurses (RNs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Physical Therapists (PTs) and bedside caregivers, Lifepoint Health is committed to ensuring its employees have the tools and support they need to care for themselves while they care for others. 

More than four out of five (83%) of healthcare professionals say their employers haven’t implemented solutions to address widespread burnout, and 42% say they’ve considered leaving healthcare as a result of burnout. Lifepoint is leading its industry by recognizing this need and proactively addressing employee wellbeing. 

“At Lifepoint Health, our employees are our greatest asset. They dedicate their lives to caring for others, and it’s our responsibility to ensure they have the resources to care for themselves,” said Charlie Toney, AVP of Benefits at Lifepoint Health. “Supporting holistic well-being is about much more than just annual check-ups and self-service articles. That's why we've created the new Lifepoint Well-being Program – a tailored experience designed to meet our employees' diverse needs. Wellhub offers a wide range of options, from gym memberships, to fitness classes to mental health resources, ensuring there's something for every member of the Lifepoint team.”

Lifepoint Health’s mission is deeply rooted in making the communities it serves healthier, and that mission begins with its own employees. As the sole healthcare provider in many of the communities where it operates, Lifepoint Health recognizes the vital role its healthcare professionals play and the importance of providing them with holistic benefits that align with the organization’s core values. Understanding the challenges of reaching these employees, especially those who are constantly on the move, Lifepoint Health sought a holistic solution that would resonate with its staff.

“Lifepoint Health is an organization that truly understands the critical importance of supporting those who dedicate their lives to caring for others,” said Cesar Carvalho, Co-founder & CEO of Wellhub. “In a demanding field like healthcare, the wellbeing of the workforce is paramount, and at Wellhub, we’re committed to providing a solution that seamlessly integrates into their lives, no matter where they are. Together, we’re empowering Lifepoint’s healthcare professionals to prioritize their own health, ensuring they can continue to deliver exceptional care to their patients.”
