WhiteGlove Health Supports the United Way Capital Area

WhiteGlove Health, Inc. (www.whiteglove.com) announced today that it is supporting the United Way Capital Area (UWCA) by providing free wellness services to children and employees at the childcare facilities they underwrite as part of their Success By 6 (SB6) program in Austin, Texas. These free wellness services include flu shots, vaccinations, and wellness assessments for children and staff members at seven childcare facilities throughout the Austin area. In addition to the wellness services, WhiteGlove is providing all staff members and their families with a free Mobile Primary Care membership. This membership provides medical care, generic Rx medications, and more that comes to members 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at home or at work.

"Success By 6 collaborates with more than 30 nonprofit organizations, community leaders and businesses to ensure that Austin's youngest and most vulnerable children are ready to learn and succeed by the time they enter kindergarten," said UWCA President Debbie Bresette. "WhiteGlove's services help ensure that the children at these centers receive the wellness and preventative care they eed in order to be healthy and ready to learn and many of them would not receive care at all otherwise."

WhiteGlove's mission is to change healthcare in America by lowering the cost and improving the healthcare experience. Supporting the UWCA aligns with WhiteGlove's core values. "We strongly believe in supporting the local community," said WhiteGlove co-founder and CEO Bob Fabbio. "This initiative is one of the ways we can make a difference, by doing what we do best - providing quality healthcare."

At a time when healthcare costs are increasing at a double-digit rate, WhiteGlove offers Mobile Primary Care and Mobile Chronic Care membership services that help self-insured employers dramatically reduce their healthcare costs while improving employee productivity and morale. WhiteGlove's innovative "membership" model - which operates much like a Costco, AAA, or gym membership - provides access to healthcare at members' homes or offices, 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
