Healthy Business Group Joins Nation's Largest Employer Health Policy Organization.

(New York and Washington, DC) June 7, 2010 — Healthy Business Group (HBG), the proprietary measures-based, behavior-driven health dividend manager, is now a member of The National Business Group on Health (NBGH), the national voice of large employers dedicated to finding innovative and forward-thinking solutions to healthcare issues.

As a member, HBG will be linked to senior human resource (HR) and benefits professionals who share the responsibility of finding innovative solutions to healthcare issues.

“This is an important relationship for HBG because, as a Health Dividend Manager, HBG is pioneering one element within the burgeoning health improvement category,” stated HBG founder and CEO Tom Morrissey. “We want employers of all sizes to know they now have access to a true full-service, long-term, cost control solution.”

“We’re also here to listen,” added Morrissey. “The NBGH's public policy programs, annual surveys and publications are considered the eyes and ears in federal policymaking circles and the national marketplace, so they’ll be instrumental to HBG’s continuing evolution.”

HBG tracks and safeguards employee health data, while aligning employers with compatible health improvement programs. Through key partnerships with the University of Michigan Health Management Research Center and other leading resources such as the NBGH, HBG puts individuals on a long-term footing towards improved health and lower healthcare costs, while securing data ownership so employees can still benefit regardless of changes in underwriter or employer status.
