What is MBGH?
Memphis Business Group on Health (MBGH) is a coalition of
member employers sharing solutions, providing connections and offering tools to
its members so they can better manage the cost and quality of employee health
benefits in an ever-changing environment.
We accomplish this by providing access to critical market
data, facilitating best-practice sharing among the market’s leading employers
and offering practical tools for successfully managing health benefits and
creating cultures of health in the worksite. MBGH members, affiliates and
supporters provide health benefits to more than 350,000 lives in the greater
Memphis area and Tennessee.
MBGH is the only organization in Memphis representing the
employer’s voice – fighting to help you manage the rising cost of health care,
improve the quality of medical care for your workforce, and empower your
employees to choose healthier lifestyles.
We roll up our sleeves and work with member companies in
managing health benefits as well as deploying wellness programs and
communication strategies that impact the bottom line by slowing the rise in
health care expenses and improving employee productivity through working
together to create a healthier workforce.
