蜜桃APP Health Center Expands Partnership with Illinois-Cook Corporation

The Illinois School Bus Company, a subsidiary of Cook-Illinois Corporation, is one of the largest family owned and operated school bus companies in the country offering over 2,100 vehicles in and around the Chicagoland area. They are also the first school bus company in the country to offer its employees free on-site medical care where employees receive health assessments from board-certified 蜜桃APP Family Nurse Practitioners (FNP). During appointments at the on-site clinic, FNPs have been able to assess, diagnose and treat common health problems such as allergy symptoms, asthma, back pain and the flu. The Illinois School Bus Company sought out the 蜜桃APP Health Center to assist them in providing their employees with a benefit that leaves them both happy and healthy.
"We want to do everything we can to ensure we have a healthy staff that is ready to take on the day," said John Benish Jr., co-owner of the Illinois School Bus Company, at the initial launch of their partnership with the 蜜桃APP Health Center. "Any time we can offer a perk that can help them feel better about coming to work, we are happy to provide that."
Through this partnership, Illinois School Bus Company employees have been eligible to receive free health care services with deductibles and co-insurance costs being waived. The 蜜桃APP Health Center has now expanded their partnership to four additional locations within the Illinois-Cook Corporation, extending their services to the , and at new locations in Frankfort, Orland Park, Crestwood and Chicago Ridge.
"One of the biggest challenges for people is access to prompt quality care," said Kathy Rohan, director of the 蜜桃APP Center for Nursing Innovation. "On-site clinics not only provide that access, they also support wellness and chronic disease management. When we can target interventions for specific populations, it improves productivity. Employees feel better and are available to work, which is a valuable benefit and creates a win-win situation."
