Transforming Healthcare Together

“Starbucks legacy of taking care of partners (employees) began more than 30 years ago when we first began offering healthcare coverage to all of our partners, including those working part-time. Since then, we’ve evolved our healthcare benefits to offer more choice and resources that empower our partners to make informed decisions about their health care needs. The Alliance’s Community Checkup is one of those valuable resources that helps to get important knowledge into the hands of individuals and organizations.”

“Insights from data into how healthcare is delivered and consumed are critical to reducing waste and driving down costs in Washington’s healthcare system. The Alliance’s Community Checkup reporting is excellent and so critical to the continuing dialogue around value-based care and consumer advocacy. We believe in the importance of incorporating appropriateness measures into our provider selection capabilities along with cost and quality. As a Seattle-headquartered company, we are proud to support the Alliance’s efforts and encourage other companies to do so as well.”

“The Alliance’s analysis enables the Association of Washington Cities Employee Benefit Trust to have a clearer understanding of the care that our members and their families are getting and helps inform our decisions on how we can improve it. Using Community Checkup results, we focused on preventive care and are seeing an increase in the number of people getting information about their benefits and accessing these important services. We also expanded our behavioral health benefits and now our members have more access than ever before.”
