The clinic is open to employees Monday through Friday, and is one of two on-site health care clinics operated by Whole Health at Sprint facilities; the other health and wellness center is located at Sprint’s main campus in Overland Park, Kan.

“We are excited to partner with Whole Health to open a second on-site health and wellness center for our Reston employees,” said Stacey Nelson, health care delivery manager for Sprint. “Our existing Whole Health clinic has provided our employees with superior health care services, improving access to care and enhancing employee engagement in important health-care decisions. They have been able to do this while helping to increase productivity and reduce health-care costs. Sprint’s decision to open a new health center and pharmacy supports our efforts to attract and retain the best employees and to keep our employees healthy and productive.”


Medical Services

Whole Health staffs and operates the center’s health and wellness center which provides a broad range of services, including: minor illness treatment, health promotion initiatives, physical examinations, allergy shots, immunizations, health risk and disease management, and nutritional counseling. Facility staff includes a full-time, board-certified physician, a full-time nurse practitioner, two full-time registered nurses, a full-time x-ray technologist, a full-time physical therapist, and two full-time medical assistants.

“Sprint’s dedication to providing proactive health services to its employees at the work site is commendable. We’re excited to grow our partnership with the company to include its Reston offices,” said Jim Hummer, founder and CEO of Whole Health. “We are working with Sprint to customize our services to meet the individual needs of their employees, and are confident that our model of personalized, integrated, proactive care will build a healthier workforce while reducing health-care costs.”

Whole Health specializes in on-site and near-site health clinics that offer comprehensive care. The company is responsible for urgent care and preventative health services at the new Reston, Va., location. The on-site pharmacy provides prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and other pharmacy items, in addition to allowing employees access to the pharmacist for counseling and education.
