One cure for high health costs: In-house clinics at companies
Fuhrmans V. One cure for high health costs: In-house clinics at companies. Wall Street Journal. 11 February 2005. A1.

The cost of health care per employee for large corporations can be astronomical and difficult to control, especially with health care costs doubling each year. Desperate to manage the staggering costs of health care, Quad/Graphics made a bold move of transforming the way they delivered health care to their employees: Working in a partnership with Covenant Healthcare, they now provide easy access right at work with in-house clinics.  By bringing most of the primary care in-house, Quad has been hugely successful in saving on the cost of care for each employee and at the same time delivering high quality care that stabilizes their large workforce.  With 80 percent of their workforce using the in-house clinics, Quad is now becoming a role model for other large corporations looking to control the rising costs of health care.
