JUST CHECKING IN…
From the Desk of the PO
These days, we all seem to be starved for time and hungry for more of what matters, whether that’s seeing your oldest friend in the flesh, being in the front row at the school play, making a special meal for your partner, or taking timeout to care for yourself. Whatever it may mean in your world, the heart of the matter is the same for us all – it’s all about the people in our lives – and that includes you.
Speaking of which, we are in the midst of what can be a challenging time of year when it comes to taking care of yourself and your loved ones, and it seems as though people everywhere have been hit particularly hard by a number of flu strains and respiratory diseases this winter. If you are feeling a little run down, be sure to read the winter wellness tips that we’ve included in this quarter’s newsletter. You may also want to try out the delicious creamy tomato soup recipe that we have suggested. It can only help in giving you a healthy dose of nutrients while providing a home cooked meal for your loved ones at the same time.
There are also some important benefit updates here that you won’t want to miss, as well as a helpful information sheet on when to call an ambulance – saving you from becoming liable for unnecessary costs. As always, we strive to ensure that you are well informed when it comes to utilising your benefits so that your OMSMAF membership benefits you and your family as far as possible. That’s why you’re here, right?
As a daughter, a mother and a wife myself, I know all too well that access to good healthcare is non-negotiable and that a partner in safeguarding your health is indispensable. But you have no doubt also asked the question, is that enough? After all, you will never forget those moments that touch the very essence of who you are as a human being – holding your baby for the first time, dropping everything and rushing to the emergency room, or, heaven forbid, hearing your doctor deliver a serious diagnosis.
OMSMAF may be your medical scheme, but for us, that is not where it ends because we recognise each and every one of our members as individuals – people with lots of things happening in their lives, all the time. OMSMAF exists to serve the healthcare needs of Old Mutual employees and retirees across the country, and connecting you to the care you need in those moments that matter.
It is your health, and that of your loved ones, that drives us forward. That’s why our mission to be an affordable medical scheme that guarantees best-of-class member experience, value and quality, is underpinned by our genuine belief that healthcare cannot exist without heart.
I hope you enjoy this quarter’s newsletter and wish you good health in the cold months ahead.
Take care,
Pamela
