United Regional Health Care in Wichita Falls, Texas, recognizes this reality and is taking proactive steps to support its staff.
A major step in this initiative is their partnership with Wexer, a global leader in digital fitness. By integrating Wexer’s virtual fitness and wellness content into their employee wellness strategy, United Regional is ensuring that every member of their workforce—whether on-site, remote, or working overnight—has access to high-quality fitness and well-being resources.
This partnership is not just about providing workouts; it’s about fostering a culture of well-being, improving employee engagement, and ultimately enhancing patient care. Here’s how Wexer will help United Regional Health Care overcome its unique challenges and achieve its wellness goals.
The Challenge: Supporting a Diverse, Round-the-Clock Workforce
United Regional Health Care operates as the region’s only Level II Trauma Center, meaning its staff faces an intense and often unpredictable workload. With employees working around the clock in different locations, it’s difficult to provide consistent access to wellness resources. Some key challenges include:
- Reaching staff on all shifts: Employees working night shifts or irregular hours often miss out on scheduled wellness activities.
- Engagement across multiple locations: With staff spread across different facilities, it’s important to have a solution that is accessible to everyone, regardless of where they work.
- Encouraging participation in wellness programs: Traditional fitness and wellness initiatives don’t always fit into the demanding schedules of healthcare workers, leading to low participation rates.
- Reducing stress and burnout: Healthcare professionals face high levels of stress, making it essential to provide wellness solutions that address mental and emotional well-being in addition to physical fitness.
United Regional needed a scalable, easy-to-use solution that could provide on-demand fitness and wellness content to all employees—anytime, anywhere.
