DrNP Kimberly Babcock-Nobles DNP, MSN-Fnp-C, John Leary, Ashley Billman, and Vincent Pascual you guessed it! Our first "mystery attendee" at ENGAGE 2026 is not so mysterious after all ... it's CEO Jeff Wells, MD. Here he is at ENGAGE 2025 talking about why we do what we do at Marathon and what makes it truly different. ⏰ The countdown to ENGAGE 2026 is on! Dr. Wells shares, “Marathon Health is uniquely positioned with an advanced primary care model that makes access to care easier for patients and allows for our providers and our care teams to spend more time with patients: 💚 to build a relationship ➕ to influence positive behavior change ➕ to help those patients realize their health and well-being goals ➕ and to reduce the cost of care.”

North Carolina employers working with Marathon Health have achieved: - 83% of engaged, at-risk members are reducing their health risk - $1,100+ annual savings per engaged employee - 6.8:1 ROI by year six Better access, healthier people, and lower costs—this is what’s possible when you shift from reactive care to a proactive, prevention-first model.
