Awards recognize organizations that have excelled at improving health and wellbeing, experience, and outcomes for employees, members, and patients
Personify Health, the leading global digital-first health, wellbeing, and navigation company, today announced the winners of the second annual Thrive Awards. These Thrive Awards recognize exceptional organizations who make innovative health and wellbeing programs a priority, enabling employees, members, and patients to create lasting, healthy changes. The awards were presented during Thrive Summit 2023, an immersive annual event that drew 1,200 employer, health plan, and health system leaders to learn from experts and each other, gaining actionable strategies for evolving programs and achieving positive outcomes.
“Business and health leaders today are faced with a long list of challenges affecting their populations and their bottom lines, including delayed care, mental health, work/life balance, DE&I, employee and member retention, company culture, and more,” said Laura Walmsley, newly appointed chief commercial officer at Personify Health. “Our solutions are proven to drive meaningful change in all these areas, and we are thrilled to honor those client organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to better health and wellbeing outcomes. They are making a difference for their people and supporting healthier, more vibrant communities inside and outside of their organizations.”
