Infinisource (Coldwater, Michigan), a provider of compliance and benefit solutions, has selected Elite Wellness USA (Dallas) to provide health management programs that will help improve the health of employee populations and address preventable healthcare costs.

Rich Glass, chief compliance officer for Infinisource, said, "Elite Wellness shares Infinisource's core value of being customer focused, and we believe that our Wellness offering will dramatically improve employers' efforts to control health care costs and promote greater employee health and productivity."

Through this partnership, Infinisource increases its service offerings to the marketplace by providing an entry-level wellness program, called the Essentials Program. This program provides customized health management solutions with add-on services that include biometric screenings, additional health coaching, on-site education seminars, weight management and smoking cessation programs.

Elite Wellness uses a "hi-touch, hi-tech" approach to engage employees and spouses with on-site and online programs which help them lead healthier lives and prevent chronic diseases. Online web tools provide valuable ongoing feedback to employers on actual participation and measurable health status improvements of their human capital assets.

"With Infinisource, we designed a program that quickly assesses the current and potential health status of a company's employees through a short online health assessment. This is followed up by personal health awareness and engagement to get employees on track to a healthier lifestyle," said Michael Nadeau, CEO of Elite. "Equally valuable, employers are able to track participation and results at any point in the program. They know the impact of a healthier workforce by seeing measurable results."

In today's global market, this level of service is what separates good companies from great companies."
