WellVia Partners With Eventric To Provide Health Care Integration for Touring Music Professionals

BRYAN, Texas - May 19, 2015 - PRLog -- WellVia is excited to announce that they have formed a new, exclusive partnership with Eventric (Eventric.com) to provide a unique telehealth solution to professional musicians whether they are touring or at home. Eventric, a Chicago-based provider of software and online services for the professional live entertainment industry, specializes in solutions that promote connectivity, community, and competency, making the production of live events more profitable and effective.

WellVia’s Telehealth platform creates a remote doctor consultation with a U.S.-based board certified physician. Such consultations can address many of the circumstances that would historically require the touring professional to make a conventional, in-person appointment at an urgent care facility or require the expensive services of a “rock doc” to visit a local venue while on the road.

Maroon 5 Tour Manager Fred Kharrazi thinks this service is just what the touring industry needs. “For our 2015 North America run, we utilized WellVia through Eventric and our team loved the service and quality of care. Hopefully you have a healthy tour; but knowing my guys can pick up the phone and immediately connect with a board certified physician, and get a diagnosis and a prescription if deemed medically necessary is great! This saves time and money, but most importantly allows my crew to be proactive about their health when touring.”

“The average wait time to see your primary care physician is up to 19 days,” remarked WellVia Co-Founder and President Todd Thoman, “Yet 70 percent of those appointments and 40 percent of emergency room visits can be handled telephonically with WellVia. WellVia was created to help full-time, part-time and contract employees gain access to quality care that is affordable, efficient and bi-lingual!”

Eventric Founder and President, Paul Bradley believes the partnership is perfect for the touring industry. “WellVia and Eventric have partnered to provide our collaborative efforts to touring professionals around the country because keeping a tour healthy and on-schedule while on the road is of paramount importance to a tour’s success.”
