Giving Thanks

​This Thanksgiving Day, we at Healthy Connections give thanks for all of our providers, staff, patients, friends, and families.

To celebrate this year, we asked some of our employees what they are thankful for this year.

 

Family, Friends, Health, Co-Workers, My job, my church, and all the blessings that the Lord continues to give to me daily.

This year I’m thankful for many things. My family, my job, and my co-workers are just a few. Yes, it has been a rough year for many of us, but we all can look and see good things that have happened as well. Remember to thank those around you for all they do. Also under all these masks, smile!

I am so thankful for so many things – friends, family, being an American. But I’d like to especially point out that I’m thankful for my co-workers, people who have come together for the purpose of taking care of other, understanding that even with the risks of working in healthcare the benefits of helping others outweigh those risks. Happy, happy Thanksgiving to my HCI peeps!

I am thankful for my Salvation and my Church family, my husband, kids, and family and that they are all healthy and live close, my health, my job, living in a small town where everyone knows everyone and looks after each other, the freedoms we have now in America, Vacations with my husband and family, Pepsi, Sweet Tea, Dressing, Coconut Pie and ziplock baggies.

I am thankful for Latricia Reed & Audra Davidson. They never fail to help me. The Chippewa Clinic has been super informative and the women are amazing.

Mostly for my salvation, and my God who makes all blessings flow, innumerable to count. The inner joy that carries me through, and the peace that comes from that security. My family, our health, and freedom. Our jobs, my boss, and the amazing dental team. They are an amazing group of people.

Open Enrollment Through Dec. 15

With the Covid-19 pandemic ongoing, now is the time for Arkansans to enroll in Medicaid and ArKids 1st for the next year. Enrollment runs through Dec. 15, 2020, and can be done at the federally run health insurance exchange www.healthcare.gov.

You can get quality insurance that covers doctor visits, prescriptions, and more. Even if you or a family member have a preexisting condition, like cancer, diabetes, or asthma.

Current enrollees who don’t update their application and enroll in a plan by Dec. 15 will generally be automatically enrolled in the same plan, or another plan with the same insurance company intended to be as similar as possible.

Honoring All Who Served

On this Veterans Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and honor all who served. Happy Veterans Day to our soldiers — both past and present. We owe you our thanks, but more than that, we owe you our freedom.

To all veterans of all branches, thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you set for us all. To our soldiers out there, thank you for the risks you take and the sacrifices you make.

And thank you to our numerous Healthy Connections Community Health Network employees who have served our country.

Thank you for your service!
