May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it is time for self-care. This year’s theme for Launch Your Life is Mind, Body, and Spirit. Our programming has been designed to motivate and encourage employees to be at their best, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Most of us know that losing weight has major benefits including lowering blood pressure, better sleep, and overall well-being. With this in mind, employees have access to free weight-loss programs.
Are you ready to feel amazing? We encourage you to choose from the programs listed below offered through our various health insurance carriers.
