Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to connect with family, eat delicious homemade food, and give thanks. I also hope that we can take time to look after our communities. The benefits of volunteering are enormous to you, your family, and your community. Giving to others reduces stress, can increase a skill, and promote our mental and physical health.
While it’s important to think about others and give back to your community, it’s also important to take care of yourself. Your emotional, mental and physical health needs to be addressed consistently and can be the best gift you can give to those you love. To help accomplish this, being insured can make you feel secure, healthy, and happy by paying for preventive services and other medical costs.
