Thank you so much for joining us this afternoon

so that developing public private partnerships

to improve employee health and population health webinar.

00:13 I would like to introduce my colleague Christa Singleton

who is the senior medical advisor with the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

She's going to share with you her insight

00:27 Christa Singleton: Good afternoon, everyone.

00:31 Keeping America safe, healthy, and secure is critical

to building a healthy workforce, a healthy economy,

00:41 CDC is well known for its scientific expertise around new

00:48 It may not be as well-known that CDC

and our state and local public health colleagues have immense

expertise in developing evidence-based interventions

01:04 As our country's healthcare system continues

to transform and explore new access and payment models,

in 2015 and 2016 01:14 CDC began to explore opportunities

to improve access, quality, and the utilization

of evidence-based prevention interventions that have both.

And I'll stress the keyword both - health and cost impact.

01:34 That exploration resulted in the creation

of the 6 18 Initiative, which is an effort to help purchasers -

and by purchasers we mean employers - 01:45 Payers,

These interventions are evidence-based interventions

01:59 that can be used, particularly for employers,

to support their employee population health.

02:14 And over the last year we have started a deeper dive

into the employer perspective to further fill

As over 55% of the country receives their health insurance,

and therefore their access to health care

from employer sponsored health insurance,

02:37 We CDC have realized the opportunity

to help build upon public's health insure

and assure public health role to partner with the private sector,

to improve population health in their communities.

02:54 For our state and local health departments today,

and operational recommendations to help advance your work

03:04 For employers, employer collaboratives,

and private sector entities with us today,

we hope that you will find the public health partnerships

examples today of interest and an opportunity

to build upon further 03:18 Public Health population

Our agenda today will highlight the importance

of developing health department/employer partnerships

not only hearing 03:36 Examples from our colleagues

at Leavitt Partners, the St. Louis Business Health Coalition.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services,

but examples from those of you in attendance as well.

03:48 With that, and I turn to my colleague Chris Miles

with Leavitt Partners to begin our presentation, Chris.

03:54 Chris Miles: Thank you very much, Christa.

Why don't we go ahead and start by talking about the importance

who can positively impact population health via their

employees, dependence, and the broader community

04:19 Cultivating relationships and partnerships

between public health and the private sector is critical

to enhancing, not just the 04:26 wellbeing of employees,

04:28 but the community and population as a whole.

The reach of improved employer health is broad -

or near-site clinics increase access to care in some cases,

for the employees and dependents at that employer,

to the larger population beyond just employees.

some employers offer financial incentives

for example subsidized bus and train passes.

05:04 With respect to food, some employers may offer access

to healthy meals to take home to their broader family.
