L&F Distributors created Retro Health, which are nine onsite clinics at the company’s distribution centers. These clinics offers medical testing and consultation to the firm’s 1,200 employees and their dependents in Texas and New Mexico.

L&F Distributors also provides its employees with b.well, a mobile health platform, which has helped the company reduce emergency department visits for its employees by 69%.
