#160; The Program Rotarian of the Day Ed Ware introduced Tom Chamberlain, a successful entrepreneur who came out of retirement to found EdLogics. Chamberlain described EdLogics as an education-based company that engages people through games and videos to make them more knowledgeable about taking care of their health, which will ultimately drive down the cost of health care. Tom pointed to statistics showing that the great majority of health care costs, 86 cents of every $1, is spent on chronic conditions. Additionally, research shows that having the capacity to understand, obtain and process basic health information and services regarding chronic condition makes a big difference in how expensive they are to treat. He pointed to research showing that not understanding a chronic condition (ie, having low health literacy), can cost three to four times more to treat than a person who has that understanding. It’s hard to educate people through pamphlets. The solution developed by EdLogics entices people to learn in a fun way through gamification, which is earning points that employees can earn toward employer paid rewards and incentives. He stressed it’s not a tracker or wellness website. It is unique in being focused purely on raising health literacy particularly where the expensive costs are -- chronic conditions. The Meeting Chip Vogan and Frank Whitman led us in singing Grand Ole Flag President Lorna opened the meeting with the pledge of allegiance and reciting the Four Way test. Jim Baker gave the invocation. Card was signed for Bill Gough and Sandra. School of the Week is P.B.
