Every day, BHCG members’ successes are turning heads at more businesses. And those companies are becoming members themselves. More than 600 employers are now participating in the BHCG, including some of the area’s largest and best-known corporations, as well as hundreds of small and mid-sized businesses.

Nationwide Notoriety
We’re getting noticed by industry publications and media around the country. Case in point: this article (pdf) that the BHCG contributed to CDHC Solutions, the first and only magazine exclusively focusing on the changing landscape of health care benefits. “The New Health Care Model Requires Educating Health Care Consumers” shares some of our strategies and results with consumer-driven health care initiatives.

This publication was impressed with the mission of our organization and some of the activities we have undertaken. Therefore, they recently decided to run another article, which announced the second grant the BCHG received from Novo Nordisk to continue our work, increasing the number of physicians recognized in diabetic care and management by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). See newsletter article for more details.

In past months, we have also garnered media attention in the following publications and online venues:

• Business Journal of Milwaukee
• The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
• Small Business Times
• Phoenix Business Journal
• Forbes.com
• Managed Care Online
• MarketWatch.com
• StarTribune.com
• Morningstar.com
• AM Best Online
• Insurance Newsnet

Thanks for supporting our work, which is yet another way we’re gaining momentum in our efforts to control health care costs.
