Dear Health Care Executives:

I hope everyone is surviving this winter and completely missed any bouts of winter blues. If you need a little help, here are some ideas:

• Take a brisk walk outside, breathe in the fresh air, and just look at your beautiful surroundings
• Get on an elliptical machine at a gym or community center for just 10 minutes
• Buy flowers at the store to brighten up your house – a little color and fresh scent will do wonders for your mood
• Volunteer at a church or organization; giving back helps you to realize just how lucky you are
• Simply just smile at another person – it’s contagious. 

This edition of the Benefits and Wellness Bulletin (BWB) will inspire you and your employees to stay motivated and save benefit claim dollars along the way. This edition will also provide new ways to inspire and invigorate your thought process and possibly save you dollars in all of your organizations as it pertains to wellness and benefits. You can even read this edition of the BWB on your smart phone while on a treadmill – to learn more, click here.
