Health and wellness consulting. Vik leads our efforts to help companies contain growing
medical care costs. Lifestyle management (physical activity, nutrition, and body weight) is
critical to helping slow the rise in medical care spending, by reducing the risk of serious and
costly chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. We devise and implement
health and fitness coaching programs for companies with 100 to 1,000 employees. Our
strategies are evidence-based, scientifically sound, and medically safe. Other health and fitness services include health and fitness program research and planning, seminars for employees, presentations at company events, and briefings on employee fitness and health costs for management.

Medicare information strategies. We are experts in Medicare managed care information, particularly critical aspects of the new prescription drug benefit. Galileo Vice President Teri Deutsch has been on the cutting edge of developing the managed care benefits data collection (PBP) and marketing information (SB), which are both critical to success of Medicare Rx.

Why Galileo? We chose the name Galileo for a very important reason. Galileo Galilei was a pre-eminent Italian scientist who lived from 1564-1642. Many people mistakenly believe that Galileo proved that the earth revolved around the sun. In fact, credit for that seminal discovery goes to Copernicus, who died around the time of Galileo’s birth. However, it was Galileo whose courage and persistence eventually convinced people that Copernicus was right.

We are not primary researchers engaged in the processes of experimentation and discovery. Instead, like Galileo, we are experts in translation, helping make technical and scientific information in the realms of Medicare, exercise science, and nutrition accessible and understandable to a broad audience. Our philosophy is to teach, teach, and then teach some more, helping to ensure both acceptance and a high level of comprehension by our clients and their stakeholders.
