What's in a name? When you're doing big things, a name is everything! With our exciting future in mind, we're happy to announce that, starting on September 1st, Spark360 and Empower360 will now be collectively known as PeopleOne Health. As a result of our recent merger, we feel strongly that PeopleOne Health best reflects our commitment to keeping people at the center of our care model.
Our founders are passionate about creating a new and equitable model in healthcare, and, while our name has evolved, our commitment to the exceptional care and service we provide to all members remains our top priority. The coaches, doctors, nurses and staff you interact with on a consistent basis will remain the same, as will our member portal and app. The name change may be new, but Empower360 and Spark360 have already been working to integrate services over the course of the past year so we are confident that this will be a seamless transition.
With big goals in mind for the months and years ahead, the announcement of our new name is a step in the right direction as we continue leading the charge in creating an improved model for healthcare, one that incentivizes people to be healthy. As our teams continue to work more closely together under the PeopleOne Health brand, we are committed to expanding our reach to new offices in new cities while enhancing all services we offer to our members. Soon, you will be able to access our new member portal; until then, you can continue using our website and mobile apps without making any changes. We look forward to continuing to serve you and bring our new healthcare model to you as PeopleOne Health!

My Take: With their new foray into providing healthcare insurance, it seems inevitable that they will be breaking promises to their international 'friends', about opening up membership to new countries. No other health insurance has gone international. They say they are doing what pays the bills better. I'm sure that's necessary, but I think they should also be telling the truth in these matters! They should just admit that that won't be possible for them.
One of these days I'll get around to asking them to drop my membership... they don't have an easy "close my account" option over there, but seriously, I only ever check in on the "new" Spark about once every week or two!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to visit every day, to do a couple challenges, but I got sick and had to stop. I've had to change my medication, from all the new activity. Which is good! But bad for a while. I don't know when I will adjust, but when I do, I'll get back on the challenge wagon! I'm doing one on finances and another one, I can't remember. I've literally been sleeping mostly, for days, due to the medication issue. Because I became more fit, but it's too much medicine now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this Brennan. I'm glad I did not sign up for Spark360. Just didn't have a sense that SparkPeople was going to survive in any recognizable form that mattered to me. We each needed to find what supported us and it appears that I chose wisely for myself. Hope you feel better soon and are able to return to the challenges that are supporting your efforts. Take care. ~ JEANKNEE
