Health and health benefits should be a fundamental part of every manufacturer's strategic business model—not just an unavoidable cost to manage. At the 2009 Integrated Care Summit, March 29 to 31, in Austin, Texas, all stakeholders in workplace health and productivity learned how top companies manage employee health benefits like they manage the supply chain—and experience improved worker health, increased productivity and lower costs in return.

DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance, the National Association of Manufacturers and the Center for Health Value Innovation hosted the 2009 Summit, which combined the best in educational programming, exhibition and networking opportunities to promote effective health promotion strategies.
