UnitedHealthcare honors Medline for worksite wellness program
MUNDELEIN - For the second straight year, Medline has been honored by UnitedHealthcare with its annual "Well Deserved" award.
The honor is given to organizations that demonstrate commitment to improving the health and well-being of their employees through comprehensive and innovative wellness programs.
UnitedHealthcare presented a Golden Apple award to the company to honor its multiyear distinction and ongoing commitment to employee health and well-being.
"Medline is committed to providing customers with products and clinical solutions that help them perform at their very best. The same holds true with our employees. We are dedicated to offering programs that motivate our employees to live healthy lifestyles," says Karen Ferraro, chief human resources officer at Medline.
Medline offers wellness challenges and has a staffed fitness center at its corporate office. In addition, the company's call center in Dubuque, Iowa created an indoor walking track as well as a meditation room for stress management.
It is UnitedHealthcare's eighth year of recognizing employer customers with "Well Deserved" awards for their outstanding health and wellness programs, working with an external broker review panel to review and judge all applicants.
