The best decision for your employees’ health care

Why Beacon?

• The most complete range of care — Locations all across the region mean employees get the care they need without having to travel far from home and miss work. Employees recover best at home, allowing them to return to work sooner.
• Highest-quality physicians and providers — Board-certified physicians from multiple specialties mean employees get the best care possible. Partners and collaborators such as the Mayo Clinic mean Beacon’s experts have experts, so employees always have access to the most advanced care available.
• Local service — We live here. We work here. We’re part of this community, so we understand local employers and their unique needs. Our team listens to you to find the best options, customized to your and your employees’ needs — and your budget.
• Convenient occupational services — These services make it easy for employees to receive outstanding care by professionals who understand your business needs. Delivered in a Beacon Occupational Health Clinic, in a clinic at your worksite or onsite through visits to your facilities.
• Best value — Employees don’t have to go out of network for specialty services, meaning they and you get more for your money.

This all adds up to better access to outstanding care, leading to less missed time for illness and better productivity, and a healthier bottom line. A smart investment now means fewer expenses later.
