We have designed this section of our Web site with two primary goals: To encourage healthier lifestyle choices, and to supply informative and interesting material to encourage these choices.

We have come to realize that our daily lifestyle choices-- in diet, exercise, selection of leisure time activities, substance use and abuse (alcohol, tobacco, over the counter medications), management of stress, obtaining adequate rest, maintaining an appropriate weight, and similar choices-- directly and significantly impact our quality of life and the status of our health. Indirectly, these very same choices impact the accelerating costs of medical care.

We also recognize and accept our responsibility to offer our plan's members accurate and timely information on ways to stay healthy and well. We plan to post interesting, factual, and relevant articles about health and wellness topics in this section of our site, and to update this material frequently. We invite, and welcome, your suggestions.
