Hello! In a time when we all are moving at lightning speed and have a multitude of reasons to be “too busy”, we have to remind ourselves that it is essential we carve out time and attention to focus on our own well-being every single day.

The health and happiness of our employees are crucial to the success of our organization. We cannot have one without the other. I’m excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Virgin Pulse to offer a new well-being program and platform for employees who have elected to subscribe to one of our Wellness Medical Plans. This new program and platform will help us make healthy choices, be well together, and live better every day. By investing in our employees, we are investing in our future and our overall well-being as individuals, teams, and an organization.

I will be logging into the Virgin Pulse platform in early January to set up my personal and confidential account. I look forward to seeing many of you utilize this comprehensive well-being platform and join me on January 2, 2024, in setting up your account.

Please make sure to keep an eye out for upcoming communication in the employee newsletters and emails directly from Virgin Pulse for instructions on how to access and set up an account within the platform.

The Kent County well-being platform is available to all employees who have elected to subscribe to one of our Wellness medical plans and it should be noted, that regardless of what health insurance plan you have chosen for 2024, you will be required to upload assertation and physical exam forms to the platform. More information and details coming soon.

As always, I welcome and encourage feedback as we begin this journey together.
