DETROIT, July 28 /EMWNews/ -- Chrysler LLC and Henry Ford Health

System today announced plans to open an onsite health clinic and pharmacy

inside Chrysler LLC's Auburn Hills headquarters, extending the

collaboration between the two companies, while providing nearly 12,000

Chrysler employees and contractors with convenient access to high-quality

medical care. In hosting the clinic, Chrysler joins a growing number of

progressive employers throughout the U.S. who are bringing health care

onsite or near the workplace.



    The onsite clinic and pharmacy, which is scheduled to open in the fall,

will offer diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions in addition to

common ailments, such as strep throat and ear infections. The clinic will

be staffed by Henry Ford Medical Group physicians and professionals.

Preventive services will also be provided.



    "The onsite clinic and pharmacy allow Chrysler to continue its mission

of promoting a healthy work environment," said Kate Kohn-Parrott, Director

- Integrated Health Care and Disability, Chrysler LLC. "We are proud to

partner with Henry Ford Health System in providing convenient access to

high-quality, cost-effective medical care to our employees and contract

workers directly in the workplace."



    Treatment costs will be billed through the individual employee's health

care plan, with the same applicable co-pays and deductibles. Because the

facility will be independently operated by Henry Ford Health System,

patient confidentiality will be maintained just as it is at any traditional

free-standing Henry Ford facility.



    "The onsite clinic and pharmacy is a wonderful opportunity for Henry

Ford Health System to deliver easily accessed, high-quality health care to

people working at Chrysler headquarters," says Nancy Schlichting, Henry

Ford Health System President and CEO. "It is a model we believe could be

successful with many Michigan employers in the future."
