“People are at the forefront of everything we do here at Wellstar,” says Julie Teer, senior vice president and Wellstar Foundation president. “We understand that many Georgians are faced with systemic healthcare challenges that were amplified by the pandemic. Through our Wellstar Foundation, we are fostering diverse partnerships to address these issues and reimagine healthcare to better serve everyone.”

Last year, Wellstar became the first health system in the country to team up with digital wellness platform Sharecare to deliver unique, market-leading innovations in personalized care delivery, population health and consumer engagement.

To better identify and close gaps in care, Wellstar is integrating its electronic medical record system with the Sharecare platform and leveraging the digital health company’s robust portfolio of provider solutions, data management tools and artificial intelligence capabilities. In support of its healthcare workforce, Wellstar offers Sharecare’s award-winning virtual care platform to its 24,000 team members to help them manage their overall physical and mental well-being with a personalized health dashboard, RealAge Test, wellness challenges and rewards. To date, Wellstar has seen 67% engagement among those who have downloaded the Sharecare app, with some team members naming this partnership among the many reasons Wellstar is one of the best companies to work for—a recognition Wellstar has earned by Great Place to Work and Fortune.

“The future of healthcare empowers individuals to make educated decisions about their health,” Teer says. “Through cross-industry collaboration, we can harness our skills to accelerate change, transform healthcare and create a healthier Georgia for all.” wellstar.org/foundation; sharecare.com
