WellPoint Inc. (WLP) has been working toward
increasing awareness among the masses about child health. For
this, the company has collaborated with The American Academy of
Pediatrics – an organization that has 60,000 primary care
pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric
surgical specialists.
Per the alliance, the American Academy of Pediatrics and WellPoint
will chalk out a series that will educate individuals on pediatric
health issues like childhood obesity, asthma and behavioral
concerns. Moreover, the united body will emphasize on the
significance of child well visits and immunizations in this
program. These Pediatric Learning Collaboratives will be presented
via webinars through 2014.
WellPoint is one of the leading health benefits companies in
America and serves nearly 68 million people through its
subsidiaries. The aforementioned collaboration is expected to
create awareness and clarify queries regarding pediatric health
among individuals and thus help WellPoint gain clients.
In other words, this program will not only educate individuals
about child health but will also open up avenues for WellPoint to
generate revenues. The long-term growth rate for this stock is
10.2%.
WellPoint has been actively collaborating with companies to enhance
its services. Earlier this month, it collaborated with
Healthways Inc. (HWAY) to offer its affiliated
health plan members an access to Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Heart
Disease. With the provision of this new program WellPoint aims to
deliver enhanced services to its members and tap market
opportunities.
WellPoint currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some
better-ranked stocks in the healthcare sector include Aetna
Inc. (AET) and LCA-Vision Inc. (LCAV).
While LCA-Vision carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Aetna holds
a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
