March is National Nutrition Month, and this year's theme, "Discover the Power of Nutrition," highlights how informed food choices help individuals and communities thrive. You can harness this power by reconnecting with your food at local farmers markets or by using the Real Appeal program, available at no additional cost to those enrolled in a GW medical plan, to build healthy habits through expert guidance. You can also nourish your body by "eating the rainbow" with colorful staples like asparagus for vitamin K and spinach for energy. By experimenting with new cooking methods and seasonal produce, you can create a more intentional and healthful connection with what’s on your plate.

In recognition of Women's History Month, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women while highlighting benefits that support women’s health and financial well-being. Fidelity offers an educational event series to help women build financial confidence and plan for long-term goals, while Progyny provides specialized support for fertility and family building, and pregnancy and postpartum care to those enrolled in a GW medical plan. We encourage you to explore these resources throughout March to learn more about the benefits available to support your well-being.

As the April 15th tax filing deadline approaches, employees looking to support their financial well-being may benefit from a free Income Tax Return Preparation Clinic hosted by students from the GW School of Business and GW Law School. IRS-certified student volunteers provide free tax preparation assistance for individuals with an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less. The clinic is offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. through April 12 at Duquès Hall. Learn more here.
