CHD Meridian Healthcare, an I-trax, Inc. company (AMEX: DMX), announced the planned opening of 14 new health centers for LyondellBasell Industries. The health centers will serve approximately 4,600 employees in Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

The provision of health, pharmacy and wellness services at the workplace is a growing trend. According to a recent survey by Watson Wyatt and the National Business Group on Health, employers are continuing to invest in on-site employee health and wellness centers to control healthcare spending. Easy access to quality care yields cost savings by addressing health events before they require costly emergency room visits, hospital stays, and other care.

“Expanding our occupational health centers was a natural decision for us because we have a vested interest in the health and safety of our employees,” said Jeff Bonorden, manager, Industrial Health & Medical, Lyondell Chemical Company, Houston, TX. “We’ve found that providing care in the workplace improves our employees’ health, productivity and job satisfaction.”
