Dear Editor,
Today’s health care community delivers far more than just check-ups. In my experience, health plans and providers have adapted new ways to treat patients earlier and more effectively, including fitness programs and incentives that encourage patients to manage their health. Recently, I’ve heard the term “preventive care” and it makes a lot of sense to me. Patients should be encouraged to use health plan benefits that prevent health issues from developing in the first place.
As I grow older, I know that it’s important to remain active and cognizant of any developing health issues. Thankfully, my health plan includes gym benefits that encourage a healthy lifestyle and no-cost screenings and physician consultations. With these benefits, I know that I’m getting the care and motivation I need to stay on top of my health.
These benefits have given me confidence in my long-term health, something that I know will benefit me physically and financially for years to come. I’m thankful that my health plan has given me this peace of mind, and I would encourage everyone in New Hampshire to take advantage of the preventive care benefits that health plans deliver in our state. I want to thank my Congressman, Chris Pappas, for his commitment to health care policies that look out for constituents like me back home.
Sincerely,
Marcia Kimball
