Wise & Well is the official NMRHCA wellness brand offering FREE NO COST wellness opportunities to NMRHCA members. Many options are available to all members while others are specific to the medical plan you choose. Bookmark this page and sign up for the Wise & Well newsletter (below) to stay up to date on the up coming wellness activities and programs that are available.
NMRHCA provides wellness programming for 2 primary reasons:
1. We care about your wellbeing and believe you will live your best life when you are well and healthy, even with age.
2. One of the biggest drivers in health care costs is utilization. The more each of us goes to the doctor, stays in the hospital or needs medications, the cost goes up for all. We should use medical services when we need it, yet the better we can take care of ourselves, not only do we get the personal benefit of better health, it reduces the cost for everyone.
