Why are we switching from Healics to Marathon Health
The J. J. Keller LIFE wellness center is changing clinic management vendors. On October 1, 2021, Marathon Health will manage the LIFE wellness center. Marathon Health better aligns with our need for a strategic partner that can provide us the level of service we need as we grow and change with associates’ needs. Marathon Health provides televisits as an option for remote, out-of-state associates and covered spouses, as well as single sign-on and simplifications to our wellness systems.
