Van Gilder Health Management Consulting

Want to stabilize escalating healthcare costs? Consider a medical self-care initiative.


Did you know?

  • 114 million Emergency Room (ER) visits in 2005 1
  • Average cost of $560 per ER visit 2
  • 60% ER visits not appropriate 3


Medical self care campaigns teach employees new ways of making better medical care decisions and methods of improving outcomes. These skills eliminate the expense of unnecessary medical care and time away from work. A medical self-care initiative represents a tremendous opportunity to contain healthcare costs and demonstrates the comprehensive nature of a health management approach, which is a shift from the traditional wellness perspective.



Here are some ways that Van Gilder works with clients to improve health and achieve a healthier bottom line.

  • Measure and proactively address the underlying health risks in your population
  • Drive behavioral change through medical plan integration, team challenges and cultural transformations
  • Measure and report on the effectiveness of health management efforts
