Dear HCCUA Members:
I am delighted to wish all of you a safe, healthy, happy, and loving holiday season. For many people in the United States, this has been a difficult year due to lowered personal finances, job loss, or prolonged unemployment. It is even more important during these difficult times to reflect on the blessings of the year and this holiday season. It has been stated before that good health is its own reward, and that freedom from disease is a hugely gratifying gift everyone would like to receive.

As a HCCUA Member, we are happy to offer you and your family many distinctive pathways to improving and maintaining good health. First, there is the fantastic benefit of TeleHealth with 24/7 access to board certified physicians that is available to HCCUA Members wherever they live and travel in the United States. HCCUA Members are also afforded the opportunity to have telephonic access to mental health professionals, and referral services to local mental health agencies and service organizations, if needed.

The HCCUA Health Advocacy Services is a truly dedicated team of professionals who help with finding health resources and services near HCCUA Members’ homes, and their interventions can greatly reduce your medical bills. Be sure to call the Health Advocacy Services before you go to a medical visit to achieve the best possible billing results.

In addition, HCCUA offers the Comprehensive Wellness and Testing Profile after 180 days of continuous HCCUA Membership. This comprehensive service includes over 50 individual blood tests, panels and profiles, and includes a thorough assessment of most major organ systems. You have the ability to take the comprehensive report to share with any of your local physicians.

Probably our most utilized benefit is the access you receive as a HCCUA Member to a vast array of defined group medical health insurance plans. You can even review the benefits for each of the group health insurance programs offered through HCCUA Membership by accessing your online HCCUA account and the HCCUA Web site. There are many plans from which to choose, so take the time to evaluate and access your medical needs and find the plan that is right for you.

While I am on the topic of the HCCUA Web site, I want to draw your attention to the healthy and delicious recipes that are there. You are guaranteed to find several recipes to please your friends and family who will be visiting during the holidays. We will be featuring one of these tasty and healthy recipes every month in the new HCCUA e-Newsletter.

Please take the time to read your monthly HCCUA e-Newsletter that we are proud to launch this month. The HCCUA e-Newsletter is full of themed information, new programs and values, and ways to save you time, money, and provide you with more valuable savings. If you are not receiving the HCCUA e-Newsletter, please contact me at lmorgan@hccua.org, provide your e-mail address where you would like to receive the e-Newsletter, and I will personally place you on the e-mailing list! You will want this beneficial monthly information delivered as a service from us to you online!

I wish to extend the warmest of greetings from all of us here at HCCUA to each of you and your family. May your Holiday Season be filled with merriment and joy, and may the New Year be filled with energetic and fantastic health!

Sincerely,
Dr. Lynn S. Morgan, President
