Contribute to health management by providing “online insurance medical treatment” to sponsor companies inside and outside Okinawa Prefecture! Ryukyu Astida enters into “Health Management Promotion Partnership” with Argos
Ryukyu Astida Sports Club Co., Ltd. (Location: Nakagusuku Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture; Representative Director and Chairman: Shusaku Hayakawa) is a subsidiary of Argos Co., Ltd. (Location: Central Tokyo, which provides Yakuru, an online insurance medical treatment service specializing in lifestyle-related diseases). We would like to announce that we have recently concluded a “Health Management Promotion Partnership” with Tokyo Metropolitan Government and President and CEO: Yoshio Fukawa.
“Yakuru” is a service that allows you to receive online insurance medical treatment for lifestyle-related diseases, allergic rhinitis, etc. from your smartphone until 10 p.m., 24/7 with no reservations required, and solves corporate issues as well as the burden of hospital visits and medical treatment issues faced by employees. It is something to do. Through this “Health Management Promotion
Partnership,” we will provide “Yakuru” as a welfare benefit that comes with sponsorship to sponsor companies of Ryukyu Astida, which is expanding both inside and outside Okinawa Prefecture. Ryukyu Astida aims to contribute to the health management of companies within and outside the prefecture, and to promote corporate sustainability to improve corporate value.
* ■Background of the conclusion of the “Health Management Promotion Partnership”*
Ryukyu Astida, a professional table tennis team, is based in Okinawa and is working with local companies to enliven the sport of table tennis, and has grown to over 100 sponsor companies. On the other hand, “Yakuru”, an online insurance medical treatment service provided by Argos specializing in lifestyle-related diseases, is a medical service that can be provided nationwide, and is used by busy business people and patients in mountainous areas and remote islands with poor access to medical care. We have a track record of reducing burdens. Ryukyu Astida and Argos, which continue to contribute to society in the respective fields of sports and medicine, have agreed to build on the efforts of both companies to more strongly support and promote corporate health management, mainly in Okinawa. Okinawa Prefecture has had the lowest rate of findings in regular health checkups in the workplace for 12 consecutive years (*1), and through the conclusion of this “Health Management Promotion Partnership,” we will support the promotion of health management at companies in the prefecture. I plan to contribute.
