Dale Wood and Craig Lindley of HealthYes!® Win Healthcare Heroes Award Business Leaders, Small Employer Category
Austin, Texas, August 25, 2009 - HealthYes!® co-founders, Dale Wood and Craig Lindley, won the Austin Business Journal’s Healthcare
Heroes Award for Business Leaders in the small employer category. The award honors individuals, organizations and companies for their contributions
to improve health care in Central Texas.
"Only in Austin, Texas could a small start-up company with a funky name, striving to make a difference in the world be recognized in such a public fashion. To be mentioned alongside fantastic companies like Freescale Semiconductor, and legendary Austinites like Paul Carrozza is an honor in itself," said Craig Lindley, co-founder, HealthYes!®.
HealthYes!®, launched in Austin, Texas in March 2008, and is growing rapidly to serve communities throughout Texas. In the last year, HealthYes!® has expanded its reach into the San Antonio, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. The company anticipates expanding to additional cities outside of Texas in 2009.
"There is fervent debate about how to change the healthcare system that ranges from squeezing a few more tax dollars from workers, to decreasing the reimbursement rates of providers. These are all short-term band-aids, not solutions,” said Dale Wood, co-founder, HealthYes!®. “The only way to permanently change the cost of healthcare is to start focusing on changing people's behavior. That is exactly what HealthYes!® focuses on by allowing our customers to actually look inside their bodies and see how their behavior is affecting their health. If proactive changes in behavior can be put in place, we see a decrease in medium-term and long-term care permanently."
