Mayo Clinic Health Management Resources and Caremark Inc, a subsidiary of Caremark Rx Inc, have formed a strategic relationship that makes the customized MayoClinic.com health management site and other health management resources from Mayo Clinic available to Caremark's clients and plan participants. Caremark will be providing select content from MayoClinic.com to clients and participants on its Caremarkrx.com Web site. Caremark's client organizations, representing more than 23 million participants, also will have the opportunity to provide their employees or members with an enhanced suite of tools, including: a customized MayoClinic.com health management service with an exclusive new Mayo Clinic Health Risk Assessment; company-specific links to related health management resources and programs; a report package that allows the organization to measure site usage and impact, and print resources, including the popular Mayo Clinic HealthQuest newsletter and a new edition of the best-selling Mayo Clinic Guide to Self-Care. "This relationship allows us to build upon the strong pharmacy management and health management programs that Caremark, as a leading prescription benefit manager, is able to bring to our employer and managed care clients," said Jim Dickerson, Caremark's President and Chief Operating Officer. "We selected Mayo Clinic Health Management Resources after a rigorous analysis because of its strong reputation and leadership role in the emerging era of the empowered healthcare consumer. Mayo Clinic is a true content creator, not an information aggregator, and is a long-standing, trusted resource for health information and education."
