Milwaukee, WI , June 17, 2008. Zywave, a leading technology provider of products and services for insurance brokers, announced today that it has partnered with LifeStrive Wellness Consultants, LLC, a Phoenix, AZ-based health risk assessment and disease management program.

This approach offers employers, benefits brokers, providers of consumer-driven high deductible insurance plans and third party administrators an unmatched return on their investment.”
