Frequently Asked Questions
Premise Health is a provider of in-person and virtual health for the world’s leading organizations. In other words, we partner with companies to bring their employees healthcare services and operate their wellness centers.
Members are what we call our patients who are eligible to use a wellness center operated by Premise Health. It’s not a membership that you have to pay for or apply to be a part of. You’re simply considered a member once your employer has partnered with us to provide your health and wellness services.
A wellness center is where you receive care as a member. We use this term versus the typical “doctor’s office” because we offer so much more than the usual office environment. Our centers not only typically offer more services than the average doctor’s office, but are also designed with you in mind, so you feel comfortable, calm and welcomed.
The Hearst Wellness Center is staffed, managed and operated by Premise Health. Your medical staff includes a combination of providers, nurses and medical assistants. Each staff member has been carefully screened and is qualified to deliver exceptional care. The Hearst Wellness Center is not staffed or managed by Hearst or their employees in any way.
While where you receive care is a personal choice, we hope you’ll consider trusting us with your overall wellbeing, much like Hearst has trusted us as a partner in health. We’d love to see you soon!
