In its "7th Annual Report on the Disease Management Industry," Health Industries Research Companies (HIRC) recognized Gordian Health Solutions as one of the leading wellness vendors in the country.

The report, part of HIRC's Health and Disease Management Service, includes a section titled "Wellness: The New Frontier in Health Management." The report authors note that an increasing number of employers are including wellness programs, such as those provided by Gordian, as an element of their disease management offerings. Wellness programs can consist of such services as employee health risk assessments, coaching done over the telephone or on-line, biometric screenings, discounts on health club memberships, or other such rewards.

To qualify as a leading wellness vendor by HIRC, companies underwent an extensive third-party review. Out of the several hundred wellness companies in the country, Gordian was one of only seven vendors included on the list.
