As an employee, getting and staying healthy is easy because we have access to such a large Memorial takes excellent care of its employees. As an employee, number of resources UMass getting and staying healthy is easy because we have access to such a large number of resources. UMass Memorial has created a health inspired culture for its employees, and there are new options and opportunities for us as employees to get well and stay well at every turn. I enjoy my gym membership, made affordable by my health insurance fitness reimbursement. I take advantage of the My Health Matters program, annual health screening and flu shot fairs. I participate in Cancer Walk annually. I frequent the farmer's market for healthy affordable produce. I utilize my health, dental, and vision insurance benefits to the fullest every year by staying current with annual checkups, cleanings, and screenings. Before becoming a UMass Memorial employee, I couldn't afford a gym membership. My deductibles and co-pays were so high that I avoided doctor and dental visits at all costs. I had never been to an eye doctor, and my family didn't get to enjoy as many fun outings like trips to Six Flags because we just couldn’t afford it. Now I go to the gym several times per week. I run and exercise more on my own outside of the gym because I've developed healthier habits, and my family is happier and healthier thanks to UMass Memorial. #imwellbecause UMass Memorial cares about me and about my family. - Elizabeth Russo
