Baylor Scott & White Health and Thrive Global today announce a strategic collaboration aimed at helping customers better manage their well-being every day.
Baylor Scott & White, the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, is redefining itself as a daily health partner, supporting customers between doctor visits with its unique digital platform, personalized guidance and trusted health resources for healthier living.
Thrive Global, a behavior change technology company with the mission of improving health outcomes and productivity, excels in helping people turn healthy intentions into lasting habits through simple, science-backed Microsteps. Thrive Global's methodology is grounded in research showing that five daily behaviors - food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection - are the most powerful drivers of long-term health.
Together, Baylor Scott & White and Thrive Global share a belief that health is influenced by both access to high-quality healthcare and by the daily behaviors and choices that shape overall well-being.
Our customers' health is shaped by thousands of daily health and well-being decisions made outside the walls of our clinics and hospitals in between medical appointments. Through our work with Thrive Global, we are advancing a shared belief that helping people live well requires a more connected, proactive approach."
Pete McCanna, chief executive officer, Baylor Scott & White Health
"One of the biggest opportunities in healthcare today is going beyond treating illness to supporting healthier lifestyles, because health is also what happens between doctor visits," said Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global. "Together, Baylor Scott & White and Thrive Global are combining trusted clinical expertise with behavior change science to help people turn healthy intentions into sustainable habits."
As part of the collaboration, Baylor Scott & White and Thrive Global are integrating evidence-based well-being content into MyBSWHealth designed to help customers build sustainable healthy habits.
