NORTHBROOK, Ill., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance
Co. (NYSE: ALL) today announced the opening of a state-of-the-art
onsite medical facility for employees and their families. The
Allstate Wellness Center is the latest addition to the company's
range of services that support the wellbeing of its employees and
their families.
The new facility, which features a physician, a nurse
practitioner, a physical therapist and a health coach, will give
Allstate employees – as well as their family members and Allstate
retirees – a setting where they can receive medical care and health
information that encourage long-term wellbeing.
"Our goal is to build a culture that embraces and encourages our
employees' pursuit of wellbeing in all aspects of their life," said
Catherine Winn, vice president,
Human Resources. "The Wellness Center is an innovative
facility that provides onsite medical care while offering employees
an opportunity to save on rising health care costs."
Allstate's Wellness Center offers an innovative, holistic
approach to medical care, offering physical examinations,
vaccinations and immunizations, wellness counseling, physical
therapy, blood pressure checks, laboratory services and
screenings. The facility will also include a pharmacy that
will open later this spring.
All employees enrolled in a company-sponsored self insured
medical plan are eligible to receive preventive care at the
Wellness Center at no cost. Depending on their medical
insurance coverage, non-preventive care can be received for as
little as a $10 co-payment.
The Center joins a wide selection of offerings designed to
encourage health and wellbeing for company employees.
Allstate's Energy For Life workshop, its Destination: You walking
program, wellness coaching and subsidized, more nutritious meals in
the company cafeterias all contribute to employees' overall
wellbeing. A second wellness center is scheduled to open at
Allstate's campus in Irving, Texas
this summer.
