Case Study: HealthCare Partners achieves lower BMI, cholesterol and smoking rates with Vitality

Ramping up communications leads to a decrease in BMI, cholesterol and smoking at one medical group

Healthcare Partners, a medical group that moved to a self-insured plan, faced rising healthcare costs and the need to improve employee health and safety. They selected Vitality and its Vitality program — a data-driven, incentive-based wellness solution — to provide structured tools, training and prevention-focused programs.

Vitality led the rollout with training, communications and engagement tactics (Vitality Realities, success stories, rewards and a Vitality Champs program), driving participation to nearly 50% engagement and more than 200 Champs. The program delivered measurable results: a 1.2% decrease in BMI, lower cholesterol, many employees quitting smoking, more members reaching Silver Vitality Status and a steadily declining medical loss ratio.
