Onsite Health Centers and Virtual Care Offer Solutions
It’s no secret that the cost of healthcare is on the rise, for both employers and individuals. The Washington Post explores the reasons for the trend and what companies are doing to counteract it – including adding onsite health centers and virtual care options for their populations.
