Know Your Benefits
Preventative Care- Important and FREE
Do you take your car in for oil changes, tire rotations and other regular maintenance? We do this to prevent larger, more costly expenses down the road. If we do this for our vehicles, shouldn't we do this for our most important vehicle... OUR BODY!
Preventive care through MHASD Quartz healthcare is available at no cost to you. Making time for these visits with your health care professional keeps your health on the right track. Wellness conversations reinforce current healthy habits, provide suggestions for improvement and screen for serious health conditions and disease. These preventative care visits may catch problems when they are small and easily treatable.
A healthy workforce helps our insurance premiums low and more money in our pockets. Over the past few years Mount Horeb Area School District has been able to keep healthcare premium increases low. MHASD employees care about their health and wellness! Keeping up with preventative care visits is one way we can keep wellness the forefront of our daily lives. Review the list of preventive care services available to you and your family.
