The Care Continuum Alliance, established in 1999 as the Disease Management Association of America, has completed its transition to a new name and brand that reflect the industry's evolution toward care across the continuum of health, from wellness and prevention to care management and more complex interventions.

"HealthFitness and the Care Continuum Alliance are aligned on the importance of minimizing health risks and keeping individuals healthy rather than waiting to manage or cure preventable conditions," explains Gregg O. Lehman, HealthFitness CEO.  "With its name change, the Care Continuum Alliance better exemplifies the mission of the association."  Lehman currently serves as a board member for the Care Continuum Alliance.

HealthFitness, a Care Continuum Alliance member represented on the association's board of directors, is an award-winning provider of integrated health and fitness management services.  HealthFitness works in partnership with employers to manage their health care costs and to create a culture of health to support employees' personal health goals.

HealthFitness is a sponsor of The Forum 10, the annual meeting of the Care Continuum Alliance, Oct. 13 to 15, in Washington, D.C.  Learn more about the Forum at TheForum10.org.
