A Smarter Way to Invest in Preventive Care
When organizations think about wellness initiatives, the focus is usually on health outcomes, fewer sick days, earlier detection, and stronger engagement. But with IRS Section 179, there’s also a powerful financial incentive to consider.
Section 179 allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the same year it’s placed into service, rather than spreading the deduction over many years. Preventive health kiosks qualify under this rule, which means organizations can support health and capture tax savings at the same time.
What Section 179 Means in Plain Terms
Here’s how it works:
- Full deduction now, not later – Instead of depreciating the cost of your kiosk over several years, you deduct the entire purchase price the year you put it into use.
- Tax-advantaged investment – The deduction directly reduces your taxable income, making wellness initiatives more affordable.
- Time-sensitive – To qualify for 2025, kiosks must be purchased and installed by December 31, 2025.
Why This Matters for Preventive Health
Wellness programs often need to prove value on two fronts: impact and affordability. Section 179 helps make the case for both. Installing a kiosk means:
- Accessible screenings for employees or community members.
- Earlier identification of health risks that reduce long-term costs.
- Tax savings that offset the initial investment.
It’s a dual benefit, better health outcomes and stronger financial returns.
From Savings to Strategy
While tax advantages make kiosks more financially appealing, the bigger win is in health outcomes. A kiosk doesn’t just provide data, it engages people, encourages awareness, and builds healthier communities. Section 179 simply makes the decision easier by ensuring your investment delivers value in more ways than one.
Maximizing Value in Preventive Care
Grants, incentives, and IRS deductions are tools that make preventive health more attainable but the right technology is what brings it to life.
