A person in the c-suite to oversee the wellbeing of employees…sounds awesome right? The concept of a Chief Wellness Officer is a relatively new concept gaining traction at places like the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford. It’s a promising concept but what does a person in this role actually do? Today guest, Dr. Bill Satterwhite, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center’s first Chief Wellness Officer, breaks it down for us.
Dr. Satterwhite is one of its leaders in redesigning health care to be more proactive about health and wellness rather than reactive about sickness and disease.
He develops value-based, customized integrated solutions for self-funded employers -- including Wake Forest Baptist Health’s employees -- designed to improve their overall wellbeing in convenient, cost-effective and health-effective ways.
