MONTHLY FEATURES
Keep Your Gut Happy This Holiday Season With Oshi Health
Between Thanksgiving feasts and festive gatherings, it’s easy to overindulge during the holidays. But your gastrointestinal (GI) health plays a big role in how you feel—before, during, and after the celebrations. This season, try pacing yourself with smaller portions, adding fiber-rich foods, and staying hydrated. Your gut will thank you, and you’ll enjoy the festivities feeling balanced and energized. Looking for gastrointestinal (GI) care? Try Oshi Health, provided by your HII benefits. Oshi Health’s GI specialists diagnose and treat symptoms and conditions like bloating, abdominal pain, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and many more.

Fall Back Into Healthy Sleep With Sleepio
Has Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) disrupted your sleep in the past? SAD is more than just the “winter blues”—it’s a type of depression that occurs when shorter days and less sunlight take a toll on your sleep and energy levels. As we set our clocks back this fall, remember that your HII benefit Sleepio can help you get the restful sleep you need no matter what time of year.

Know Where To Go: Cut Out The Time And Cost Of The ER By Choosing Urgent Care
It’s important to know the appropriate medical care to seek out when you or a family member are sick, injured, or have important health questions. Knowing whether to go to the emergency room or to seek out urgent care resources can not only save you time, but also money. Your HII benefits offer same-day care options including Teladoc + Primary 360 and the HII Family Health Center.

From Stress to Support: Your Financial Wellness Check-In
Last spring, the Mission Technologies Wellbeing Committee ran a few surveys to hear directly from employees about how they’re feeling surrounding their financial health. The feedback was clear: most employees say financial stress affects their overall wellbeing—but only a few are using the free support available through their HII benefits. If that sounds familiar, don’t forget—your benefits include tools designed to help you take control of your financial health. Resources like SmartPath, Kashable, Purchasing Power and Alight Financial Advisors are here to support you, whether you’re budgeting, saving, or planning for the future.
