Title

Substitute resolution authorizing the Department of Employee Relations (DER) to extend the current contract with Froedtert Workforce Health (WFH) for the City of Milwaukee’s comprehensive wellness program and onsite clinic services.

 

Analysis

This resolution approves an additional extension of the current contract to provide wellness programing and onsite clinic services for City of Milwaukee employees and spouses/partners. The City’s comprehensive wellness program includes the 3-Step Health Appraisal Process, the outcomes based Healthy Rewards program, the wellness center, year round coaching, access to registered dieticians and a multitude of other programs and services. WFH also oversees and staffs the City’s onsite Workplace Clinic and Early Intervention Physical Therapy Clinic.

 

Body

Whereas, Common Council File Number 161407 authorized a contract extension with Froedtert Workforce Health through December 31, 2017 to provide the City’s Wellness Programming and onsite Clinic services; and

 

Whereas, Common Council File Number 170125 outlines a number of significant changes being made to the City’s wellness program including the Health Appraisal Process and the Healthy Rewards Program; and

 

Whereas, The City and Wellness and Prevention Labor Management Committee are satisfied with the services provided by Froedtert Workforce Health and the trusting working relationship they have established with employees and believe a potential vendor partner switch at this time would have negative effects on the program; and

 

Whereas, The contract extension will provide additional time for the changes to be fully implemented, evaluated and adjusted to achieve the best possible outcomes, while avoiding further disruption from changing wellness providers; and

 

Whereas, Froedtert Workforce Health has agreed that the fees will remain unchanged throughout the term of the contract extension; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the Department of Employee Relations is authorized to commence a two year extension of the contract with Froedtert Workforce Health for the City’s comprehensive wellness program and onsite clinic services through December 31, 2019.
