County extends employee wellness contract with Woodland (Woodlawn) hospital; hospital reports improved health metrics
Summary
Fulton County approved continuing its wellness services agreement with Woodland (transcript also refers to 'Woodlawn') Hospital; the hospital reported higher employee enrollment and improvements in A1c and lipid measures among participants.
Fulton County Commissioners voted to continue the county's employee health-services and wellness agreement with Woodland (transcript also references 'Woodlawn') Hospital, following a presentation from the hospital representative.
Brad, speaking for the hospital, said enrollment has grown and some clinical measures monitored through the program—A1c levels for diabetics and lipid measures—are improving. He stressed the program lowers out-of-pocket costs for employees for covered services and benefits younger employees who may otherwise face high copays.
The hospital representative said there are no changes to pricing or services from last year; commissioners accepted the renewal motion and carried the agreement. The transcript uses two variants of the facility name; staff should confirm the contract document's official institutional name and correct the minutes if necessary.
Next steps: county staff will retain a copy of the signed agreement and return a copy to the county file as part of routine contract administration.
