The dedication and compassionate caring of the Cardium Health team shows in the clinical outcomes we are able to help participants achieve.

These measures are but a few of the clinical indicators that Cardium Health tracks but they are representative of the meaningful results that dedicated, compassionate and caring health coaching can deliver for individuals. The good news for employers and plan sponsors is that these clinical outcomes translate directly into reduced use of costly medical services related to chronic illness.

For our Heart Disease programs, Cardium Health clients realize reductions in the rate of
heart disease hospitalizations in excess of 40% to 50%*, with many clients experiencing
even better results
For our Diabetes program, clients benefit from reductions in the rate of new diabetic
complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy and the like, on the order of 25% to 35%*,
with many clients experiencing even better results
For Respiratory Disease, our clients offering both asthma and COPD programs benefit
from reduced emergency room visits, lost days of work, and reduction in disease-related
medical trend costs on the order of 5% – after account for program fees

Supporting a Culture of Health
Clinical outcome improvements aren’t just a sign of good health – they are good business. For clients who implement our programs, these results in combination with disability savings directly drive a measurable return on investment that ranges from 150% to 400%. Perhaps more importantly, the incalculable benefits of a healthy, happy workforce and supporting a workplace culture of health translates to higher productivity, and more business success.

Our multi-disciplinary clinical professionals are personally and professionally dedicated to helping people improve their medical conditions. Many of our team members volunteer personal time in clinical settings or to assist those with chronic illness who are less fortunate and unable to access the types of programs that Cardium Health offers to employee benefit plan sponsors. It’s all part of our dedication to supporting a culture of health for all.
