The Town of Mooresville is partnering with Cone Health, a leading not-for-profit comprehensive health care network in North Carolina, to bring a new health care option to employees, retirees, and dependents who are actively enrolled in a Town medical plan. The Employee Care Center (ECC) will provide a comprehensive range of primary care, acute care, occupational health, laboratory, and pharmacy services.
“As we continue to refine our focus on Operational Excellence, the new ECC will support our goal of retaining current employees and attracting new, talented candidates to join our team to meet and exceed the needs of the organization so that we may, in turn, work to provide exceptional service to our community,” says Mooresville Town Manager Tracey Jerome. “We are pleased to partner with Cone Health, and we are confident that this proactive approach to long-term health and well-being will be a real benefit for our team and for our community.”
Offering this type of comprehensive benefit is unique among area municipalities. The Employee Care Center’s services are in addition to the variety of benefits already offered to Town of Mooresville team members such as health, life, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits.
Cone Health Employer Health & Wellness Solutions puts an emphasis on value-based care. It encourages preventative care through screenings and offers classes and events that focus on a range of topics, from healthy eating to exercise to the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes.
“Like the rest of us, governments and business are concerned about the high cost of health care, says Dr. Angela Bacigalupo, supervising physician for Cone Health Employer Health & Wellness Solutions clinics. “While it’s great to offer advanced hi-tech health care, when someone has a heart attack it’s too late. Our goal is to keep employees and their families healthy and avoid the high cost of care to treat diseases that are truly avoidable.”
The ECC will be open Monday through Friday starting May 18 at 435 E. Statesville Avenue and will be staffed by an expert team of healthcare providers.
