Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 10, 2014 -- The Vanguard Award was presented to Ensign Services by Viverae, a national leader in health management solutions.

• Award-winning program offered to more than 15,000 employees in 138 locations in 11 states
• An inclusive program offered to all employees, including those not covered under their health plan
• More than 50,000 Viverae educational courses and webinars completed by program members

“When best practices in health management are combined with a supportive culture for wellness, it makes a powerful difference in employees’ lives and extends to the health of their families,” said Mike Lamb, President and Chief Operating Officer at Viverae. “We are pleased to recognize Ensign Services for making the health of their employees a priority.”

“Viverae’s Vanguard Award is a proud acknowledgement of our employees’ commitment to healthier lives,” said Weinstein. “Healthcare professionals’ compassionate nature can make them prone to focusing more on others’ well-being than their own health.
