Free COVID-19 tests available to help slow spread this winter
The Biden administration announced that every U.S. household can get four more at-home COVID-19 tests for free with no shipping costs. No insurance information is needed. We’ll inform members of this opportunity in the next edition of their newsletter, which will be delivered this week.
Help employees stay on top of children's wellness visits
The COVID-19 pandemic led many to put off checkups for their kids in recent years, but delayed care can have dire consequences for some children.
Missed appointments can be most problematic for children in their early, most formative years, when wellness checks can ensure routine vaccinations are on track, screen for proper physical and cognitive development, and flag behavioral, social, speech, and learning concerns.
Share this article with your employees to help them keep their children healthy during the winter months. The healthier the family, the healthier the workplace.
