EHP FYI
Newsletter from Employee Health Promotions
July Edition 2023
July is Social Wellness Month
Social wellness, or well-being, can be defined as one’s ability to effectively interact with those around them and to create a support system that includes friends, family, neighbors, co-workers. Maintaining an optimal level of social wellness allows one to build healthy relationships with others. Social wellness also fosters a connection with those individuals, while contributing to one’s sense of belonging – which is important for optimal wellness. Positive social habits can help you build support systems and stay healthier. Here are some tips for connecting with others.

If you haven't heard of HealthiestYou by Teladoc, your missing out on the option for free healthcare services. The benefit is FREE for any employee on any one of our Mankato Area Public Schools (MAPS) health plans or the covered employee's household family members. The family members do not need to be on the MAPS health plan as long as the employee is. This will save you money by not having to pay co-pays or deductibles. This will also help keep MAPS claims experience down which is used in determining our health insurance rates. It's a win-win for everyone!
