HealthyMail December 2021 Dear Community Member, We hope you, your family, and your friends are all enjoying a healthy holiday season - and that you are staying warm as we head into winter.  Below, you will find information about: Updates on HealthReach and the COVID-19 Pandemic Tips for safely celebrating the Holidays Information on Open Enrollment for Marketplace health insurance Strategies to manage holiday stress HealthReach continues to follow COVID-19 safety and health guidelines at all our health centers. This includes asking all patients and staff to mask up and socially distance within our centers. We also strongly recommend that you and your family receive your COVID-19 vaccination if you have yet to do so and are able. If you are eligible for your booster shot – typically given 6 months after your initial Moderna/Pfizer or 2 months after your single J&J shot – we recommend that you receive your booster in order to protect your and your loved ones’ health during the holidays and beyond. For more information on booster shots, click here. Plain and simple: vaccination keeps patients out of the hospital, prevents the need for invasive intubation and breathing support, and saves lives!  The Open Enrollment period to purchase health insurance through the Marketplace ends January 15, 2022. HealthReach Connectors are certified as Maine Enrollment Assisters (MEAs). Our Connectors can help you to determine your eligibility and to sign up for reduced-cost health insurance.
