One of the biggest barriers to individuals being proactive in their healthcare is the time it requires off of work, especially those in an hourly position.  This has a trickle-down effect on adherence to preventive measures such as cholesterol checks, EKGs, and logging in family history when minor symptoms present themselves. By the time an issue escalates, plan members may find themselves needing an ambulance, ER visit, or worse. National Diagnostic Services has a soft spot for emergency workers in municipalities and is dedicated to going to them at their stations, offices, schools to help them stay ahead of their health concerns. Many employers will compensate employees for their time visiting the drive-up medical van because it makes sense. It saves lives, time, money, heartache. Join Leigh and Sally as they start this conversation with Michael Ketslakh, CEO of National Diagnostic Services to learn more.
