DICK’S Sporting Goods is the latest organization to partner with Pelago to deliver the nation’s most innovative substance use management program to employees and their families.

By integrating Pelago’s specialized substance use management program into their employee benefits package, DICK’S aims to provide comprehensive support for anyone interested in understanding the impact of substance use on their health and wellbeing. This initiative aligns with the company’s efforts to promote overall wellness both inside and outside of work.

“Adding Pelago’s program to our robust suite of benefits allows us to continue to provide our teammates with a holistic health care experience,” said Tammy Fennessy, director of benefits at DICK’S Sporting Goods. “Pelago’s innovative approach to substance use management aligns perfectly with our commitment to equip our teammates with inclusive resources that can be customized to meet their individual needs and goals.”

The Pelago program includes tobacco, alcohol and opioid use disorder support for medically enrolled DICK’S employees, their spouses and any dependents aged 18 years and up.

Pelago’s virtual program delivers personalized care based on an individual’s health, habits and genetics that aligns to their specific goals. Members have access to individualized care plans, a physician-led care team, cognitive behavioral therapy, remote monitoring and medication-assisted treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures that medically enrolled employees and their eligible family members have access to resources for effectively managing substance use.

“Partnering with DICK’S Sporting Goods is a valuable opportunity for us to further leverage the strength of our nationwide SUD care to positively impact employee well-being and safety,” said Yusuf Sherwani, CEO and co-founder of Pelago. “We’re pleased to support their employees by providing access to the most effective, accessible and evidence-based substance use management solution available.”
