The Challenge

When TTM Technology’s factory in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, consistently showed a trend in higher employee healthcare claims, TTM’s local management discovered that emergency room visits and urgent care facilities were often the first stop for care.

As a result, the Chippewa Falls plant’s costs were rising and significantly outpacing those of TTM’s other North American locations.

Furthermore, the region’s economic disparity, reduced access to behavioral healthcare, and lack of specialty medical services were significant hurdles to better health for TTM’s local workforce. The Chippewa Falls employee population reflected the regional health demographic with above national averages for diabetes, high blood pressure, and BMI.

The Solution

To address the problems, TTM partnered with Marathon Health to provide its employees easy access to high-quality, cost-effective, and educational healthcare services through an onsite health center.

The Marathon Health care model extends beyond the health center's walls to engage employees when and where they need it most. In addition to primary care, physical therapy, and chronic condition management, TTM recognized the growing need for behavioral healthcare in the region. Marathon Health partners with the TTM Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to provide coordinated care with onsite counseling services. This approach allows for gradual and exploratory behavioral health services before full implementation.

Offering a differentiated healthcare benefit is a win-win solution for TTM and its employees. When care is available at the worksite, employees can proactively manage their health with preventive care, chronic condition management, health counseling, wellness programs, and health coaching. This proactive approach yields positive health outcomes with improved employee engagement and productivity.

"We've seen a lot of collaboration and cooperation with our health center. Marathon Health is always about serving TTM and doing what's best for our employees."
