Guidry and Clark anticipate that after 36 months the City of Atlanta will save $2 for every $1 it invests in the program.<\/p>\n<p>The savings come from the combination of managing the rising cost of health care services and improving productivity. Having a health center at work saves time (patient wait times average only 5 minutes) so employees get back to work faster, minimizing downtime and improving productivity.<\/p>\n<p>The new, approximately $3 million facility was funded entirely through insurance reserve funds generated through contracts with insurance vendors, pharmacy rebates and performance guarantees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About EPIC:<\/strong><br \/>\nEPIC is a unique and innovative retail property and casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage and consulting firm.
