CASE STUDY

 Breg’s Workplace Safety Program, May 2020

WithHealth client, Breg, is committed to workplace safety as they provide critical medical devices to orthopedic patients.  As an essential service, the Breg team kept working to continue to serve patient needs yet was challenged with the burden of clinical management of COVID-19.

“At the beginning of the pandemic, we saw fluctuations in our staffing due to perceived exposure or infection. The WithHealth partnership has brought stabilization to our production with their testing and education protocols.”

– Ben Hutson, SVP of Operations, Breg Inc.
