How the City of Mason, Ohio, prioritizes community and employee wellness through partnerships

Accolades have been plentiful for the city of Mason, Ohio, in recent months. Not only was Mason ranked fourth on Fortune’s list of the 2022 Best Places to Live in the U.S., but the city was also ranked as one of the top 10 healthiest employers in Ohio. 

Jennifer Heft, assistant city manager for the City of Mason, credits the latter ranking in part to the city’s partnership with TriHealth. “That partnership dates back to 2010, when we did an expansion at our Mason Community Center,” she says in this episode of Getting Health Care Right. “That expansion included 31,000 square feet of medical office and rehab space. Since then, TriHealth has grown at that facility to 41,000 square feet. That community center is one of the city’s signature amenities for our health, fitness and wellness programming.” 

In this episode, hosted by Cincinnati Business Courier Publisher Jamie Smith, Heft chats with TriHealth’s Senior Vice President Steve Mombach about the advantages of population health partnerships in the context of the public sector. Listen to learn more about:
