A New Era in Employee Healthcare for HISD
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) has proudly introduced a groundbreaking healthcare initiative, choosing Next Level Medical to provide comprehensive primary and urgent care to its employees. This unique program offers unlimited access to health services at no cost, ensuring that the dedicated staff can receive the care they need without the burden of fees.
Next Level Medical: A Trusted Partner in Health
Next Level Medical originated as an urgent care provider over a decade ago and has significantly expanded its services, particularly with the launch of its PRIME membership in 2021. This membership allows over 78,000 members in Texas to enjoy not only urgent care but also essential preventive healthcare services, all while focusing on ease of access and patient-centered care.
Innovative Healthcare Services Offered
The new arrangement allows HISD employees to experience healthcare like never before. Instead of the long wait times typically associated with traditional healthcare, employees benefit from the convenience of free in-person urgent and primary care services available seven days a week. Additionally, membership includes complimentary lab work, health coaching, and behavioral health counseling, ensuring a holistic approach to wellness.
Expanding Onsite Healthcare Access
For the past four years, Next Level Medical has provided onsite health services directly to HISD, catering specifically to the health needs of the district’s diverse workforce. Donna Fernandez, Director of Benefits for HISD, expressed enthusiasm about offering this unprecedented benefit, highlighting the positive impact on staff wellbeing and the strengthening of their partnership with Next Level.
Removing Barriers to Care
The Next Level PRIME membership is already making waves, having been adopted by more than 308 organizations across Texas, which acknowledge the importance of prioritizing employee health by eliminating cost and access barriers. Dr. Juliet Breeze, Founder and CEO of Next Level Medical, emphasized that this direct partnership contributes to reduced expenses and improved healthcare outcomes for employees.
Accessibility and Continued Support
