Maintaining the health and well-being of employees is more than just a trend—it’s a business priority. Forward-thinking companies are increasingly investing in corporate wellness packages that prioritize both preventive care and accessibility to essential medical services. One standout service in this space is Amera, which offers nurse-led, post-surgery transportation solutions. Here’s why integrating Amera into your wellness package is a game-changer for both companies and employees.
What is Amera, and Why Should You Include It?
Amera specializes in providing reliable and qualified transportation services for outpatient surgical procedures, such as colonoscopies or cataract surgeries. We don’t just offer rides—we provide CNA/nurse-led transportation with professionals capable of signing patients in or out after a procedure. If required, these nurses can also remain in waiting rooms to ensure a seamless process per facility request.
By incorporating Amera into your corporate wellness package, you enable your team to safely attend vital medical appointments, reducing the risks associated with skipping essential checkups due to lack of transportation.
Benefits for Your Company and Employees
1. Reduced Absenteeism
When employees neglect routine medical procedures due to logistical issues like lack of reliable transportation, they risk developing preventable health issues that could lead to absences or emergency ER visits. By providing Amera’s post-surgery transport option, you’re removing a major barrier to timely healthcare access. This means fewer sick days and a healthier, more present workforce.
2. Employee Well-Being and Job Satisfaction
Offering wellness perks like Amera sends a clear message to your employees—you care about their health and well-being. This not only keeps them healthier but also boosts morale, job satisfaction, and retention. After all, a healthy team is a happy team.
3. Compliance with Medical Facility Requirements
Many healthcare facilities require a qualified person to accompany patients after procedures like colonoscopies or endoscopies and share-rides are not an option.
Amera’s in-network nurses (over 5,000 strong) ensure your employees meet these requirements, giving them peace of mind and easy access to necessary care.
4. Cost Savings
When employees stay healthy, companies save money. Fewer emergency visits, extended sick leaves, or last-minute absenteeism create a more predictable and cost-effective work environment. Investing in wellness programs like Amera’s transportation services is a small cost compared to the long-term benefits and savings.
5. Supports Preventive Care Initiative
Outpatient surgical procedures such as annual colonoscopies or cataract surgeries are crucial for preventive care. Including Amera in your corporate wellness package encourages employees to follow through with these health checks, which ultimately leads to early detection and treatment of potential issues.
Who Can Benefit from Amera in Wellness Packages?
Amera’s offering is particularly tailored for organizations like corporate offices and healthcare providers. Companies in any sector that want to prioritize employee health and create a more supportive work environment will also find this an invaluable addition.
Whether you’re running a bustling office in a corporate setting or managing a clinic full of healthcare professionals, keeping your team healthy is non-negotiable. Amera bridges the gap between needing care and accessing it with ease, leaving no room for excuses to skip vital procedures.
Why Corporate Wellness Matters Now More Than Ever

Adding Amera to your package not only enhances your wellness offerings but strengthens the relationship between employer and employee, fostering trust and loyalty.
