YOUR HEALTH COUNTS: The First Step

Not too long ago, Associated Employers Trust (AET), which is Associated Industries health benefits arm, introduced a new wellness program entitled "Your HEALTH Counts!"

While AET has had a wellness program for some time, this new version is designed to help our members (and spouses if covered) to learn more about your own personal health status and then equip you with some of the tools you need to understand what you can do to improve any areas in which you need improvement.

If your employer is one of hundreds of member companies – representing thousands of employees and their families – that contract with Associated Employers Trust (AET) to provide their employees with quality healthcare and disability program, you've likely heard about the "Your HEALTH Counts!" wellness program, and you may have already heard from your employer, encouraging you to use the tools introduced this year to meet that objective.

I say go for it!  That's what I'm going to do. We all hear stories in the news about those who are not covered by adequate healthcare so I figure if I'm lucky enough to have someone willing to help me be more healthy, I'd be daft not to take advantage of it.
