February is National Heart Health Month, a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and empower individuals to take proactive steps toward a healthier heart. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. However, many heart-related conditions can be prevented through lifestyle changes and early detection.
Caring for your heart is one of the most important steps you can take toward overall well-being. Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, can interfere with how your heart pumps blood, affecting circulation to vital organs. But here’s the good news—small lifestyle changes may help you prevent or even improve some risk factors.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms—yet it can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. That’s why regular blood pressure checks are essential, even if you feel fine.
Your blood pressure measures the force of blood against your artery walls as your heart beats and rests. The two key numbers—systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom)—help determine if your blood pressure is in a healthy range. If left unchecked, hypertension can increase your risk of life-threatening conditions.
Due to recent updates to your medical plan, there are important changes to your Cigna Choice Fund TakeCharge Health Savings Account (HSA). You will now manage your HSA through a new website, myChoiceFund.com, and receive a new Choice Fund MasterCard® debit card.
To transfer your HSA to UHC, complete the required form and mail it to Wealthcare Saver, P.O. Box 162177, Altamonte Springs, FL 32716. Submit the form after January 1, 2025, ideally after one or two contributions have been made to your new HSA, allowing you access to some funds during the transfer. The process may take 4–6 weeks, depending on the banks’ capacities. Unfortunately, HR cannot track individual transfers; for updates, contact Wealthcare Saver at (855) 284-4009.
A biometric screening offers valuable insights into your health by measuring key indicators like blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and weight.
