"This is a perfect year for employers to start thinking about the balance of short-term costs and long-term savings and how they can accelerate that in the right direction. It's far more efficient for your employee to go to a retail health center now than an ER later."
Benjamin Isgur, Director, PwC's Health Research Institute
