This contract extension will ensure that approximately 1.1 million UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage group members will continue to have access to the physical health and social engagement benefits offered by SilverSneakers, the nation’s leading fitness program for older adults.
Tivity Health (PRNewsfoto/Tivity Health, Inc)
Tivity Health has a long-standing relationship with UnitedHealthcare and has offered SilverSneakers to its Medicare Advantage members for 20 years. This agreement reaffirms the joint commitment of both organizations to help seniors achieve their best health by engaging in physical activity, including proprietary classes designed specifically for older adults, and by supporting the social connections that are critical to a long and healthy life.
“UnitedHealthcare’s members have been enjoying the many benefits of SilverSneakers for two decades, and we are proud to continue to partner with them to improve the health and well-being of their Medicare Advantage population,” said Steve Janicak, President, Healthcare Business Unit, Tivity Health. “This relationship underscores the strength and longevity of the SilverSneakers brand. For almost 30 years, we’ve brought our unique programming to older adults, and the program has evolved from a fitness program to an ecosystem of resources to help seniors live their best lives.”
In addition to SilverSneakers classes led by trained instructors, the program offers access to more than 16,000 fitness locations nationwide as well as SilverSneakers On-Demand video workouts and a mobile app, SilverSneakers® GOTM, at no additional cost to the member. SilverSneakers also offers members opportunities for social connection, an important component of healthy aging.
“Social isolation and loneliness are associated with a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, disability and dementia — these conditions are as detrimental to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day1,” said Donato Tramuto, Chief Executive Officer, Tivity Health. “SilverSneakers is a proven platform to help seniors engage socially and mitigate these risks. We’ve seen the power of social connection in improving the health of our members and we are committed to continuing to be a leader in addressing these important issues.”
In a 2018 survey of SilverSneakers members, 60 percent said they had made valuable relationships with other SilverSneakers members and 88 percent said that SilverSneakers has improved their quality of life.

Tivity Health Launches Wisely Well to Provide Meals to Seniors
Nutrition Program to Be Offered Through Health Plans and Direct to Consumer in 2020
NASHVILLE, TN/PRNewswire—Tivity Health® (Nasdaq: TVTY), a leading provider of nutrition, fitness and social engagement solutions, will launch a meal delivery program in 2020 that will offer fully prepared meals specially designed by nutritionists to meet the dietary needs of older adults. Wisely Well™ Nutrition Solutions will support individuals and caregivers who are seeking meal convenience as well as those recovering after a hospitalization, living with chronic conditions or experiencing food insecurity. Wisely Well will be offered directly to consumers and through health plans.
Wisely Well will initially offer 25 pre-packaged meal options made with the highest quality ingredients and frozen at the peak of freshness to retain their nutrients and flavor. Options include meals that are specially formulated for those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The new brand is the result of Tivity Health’s acquisition of Nutrisystem earlier this year and combines decades of food development and distribution experience with Tivity Health’s expertise providing products that support overall health and well-being.
“Tivity Health acquired Nutrisystem to expand our ability to address the social determinants of health, including access to healthy food,” said Donato Tramuto, Chief Executive Officer, Tivity Health. “Hospital readmission and chronic illness are both significant drivers of higher healthcare costs. We are proud that we were able to bring Wisely Well to market quickly to meet the needs of individuals for whom a few healthy, complete meals per day can dramatically improve their health.”
In addition to being available directly to consumers, Wisely Well will be provided to eligible members through health plan partners to support patients at risk of readmission to the hospital or who are chronically ill. Hospital readmissions costs Medicare $26 billion annually, with about $17 billion spent on avoidable hospital trips after discharge1. Evidence supports using food as medicine as an effective tool to reduce 30-day readmission rates2. With Wisely Well, meals can be ordered through discharge planning or care management teams coordinating with the patients’ health plan.
Health plan members who wish to continue receiving the meals can transition to a direct pay relationship with special promotional pricing. All Wisely Well meals are designed to support the nutrition needs of seniors, with flexible program options that can also help address food insecurity in the older adult population.
“Our demographics are shifting dramatically; approximately 11,000 people turn 65 every day and Americans are living longer, creating a demand for new and innovative products to support not only older adults, but also their caregivers,” said Joe Coughlin, Ph.D., Founder and Director, MIT AgeLab. “At the AgeLab we are exploring the kinds of services needed by older adults as well as their families and caregivers to enable them to age in place. Proper nutrition and convenient access to healthy meals is fundamental, particularly for those who may be recovering from a recent hospitalization or chronically ill.”
Tivity Health serves more than 15 million eligible Medicare Advantage members through SilverSneakers, the nation’s leading fitness program for older adults, and expanded its capabilities to include nutrition when it acquired Nutrisystem in March. With the acquisition, the company broadened its focus on improving health and quality of life through physical activity, social connection, and nutrition by providing healthy, balanced food to those who need it due to food insecurity, chronic illness or short-term support after hospital discharge.

Clearwater Executive Chairman Bob Chaput to Keynote Healthcare Internet of Things Conference
NASHVILLE, TN—Clearwater, the leading provider of Enterprise Cyber Risk Management and HIPAA compliance software and consulting services for the healthcare industry, announced today that Executive Chairman Bob Chaput will be among the keynote speakers at the Cylera HIoT Security Executive Summit, taking place in Miami Beach, FL, October 17-18.
Designed to foster collaboration and innovation for the future of medical device security and patient safety, the invitation-only thought leadership summit will bring together Chief Information Officers (CIO) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) from several leading health systems across the country. Medical device security continues to be a major source of concern for the healthcare industry as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Department of Homeland Security issued a new warning on October 1 about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operating systems that power a variety of medical devices1.
Mr. Chaput’s address, titled “First, Do ‘Know Harm’,” will discuss the growing potential for patient harm due to the compromise of healthcare data, systems, and devices. He will discuss the regulatory requirements and enterprise risk management need for hospitals and health systems to take a more comprehensive and integrated approach to identifying, managing, and reducing cyber risk across the evolving healthcare IT ecosystem.
“The explosion of data, devices, and systems that are supporting healthcare delivery has created the unintended consequence of greater risk — risk not only of protected health information being exposed but also of care not being as accessible or as safe as we need it to be,“ Chaput said. “Patient lives may be at risk, for example, when a ransomware attack disrupts the availability of data and a provider is unable to deliver services. The first step in addressing cyber risk is engaging in a conversation about what cyber risks exist, the potential impacts to patients, and the steps that can be taken to develop a strong Enterprise Cyber Risk Management program.”
A leader who has a unique view of healthcare cybersecurity innovation, Mr. Chaput has been responsible for the associated regulatory compliance and security of some of the world’s largest healthcare networking and computing infrastructures over the course of his nearly 40-year career. He founded Clearwater in 2009 to help healthcare organizations gain a full understanding of all of their cybersecurity risks; that is, all the ways in which there can be a compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any of their healthcare data, systems, and devices.
About Clearwater
Clearwater is the leading provider of Enterprise Cyber Risk Management and HIPAA compliance software and consulting services for the healthcare industry. Our solutions enable organizations to gain enterprise-wide visibility into cybersecurity risks and more effectively prioritize and manage them, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
