Did you know that Bright Pink, an NGO focused on preventing breast and ovarian cancer in young women, founded Call Your Doctor Day in 2016? Bright Pink founded the holiday to encourage women to schedule their yearly well-women exams. If you’re a woman, this is a reminder to call your doctor to schedule your exam today! Even if you’re not, consider organizing an event and inviting a local doctor to speak about the importance of regular health check-ups.

Remarkable impact can come from unremarkable actions. And an action becomes unremarkable when it's simply a part of who you are. This is one example of who we are at Medica, Prevea360 Health Plan, and Dean Health Plan, Inc., independently and even more so through our partnerships with great healthcare delivery systems like Prevea Health and Hospital Sisters Health System in Northeast Wisconsin. When we simply pause and listen to understand what's truly happening in a difficult situation, we are then usually faced with a personal choice of how to respond. I'll challenge you to consider the impact that your choice has on others. If you have the ability to redirect a bad situation or to positively influence the outcome, however big or small, then make the right choice.
Recently our corporate film-making team highlighted a beautiful friendship that has blossomed out of a difficult health situation. Joan has been a member of Prevea360 Health Plan for only a few months--right before her coverage began earlier this year, she learned her breast cancer had returned after more than two decades. While depressed and alone she was close to giving up the fight--then our Josh G. stepped in-- take the almost 6 minutes to watch--trust us it's worth it.
Prevea360 Member Story: How Joan turned to her health insurance company for help during cancer battle.
