Making Connections for Employee Well-Being at Your Company

Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) Virtual 5K Combines Wellness and Fundraising

During July, nearly 1,000 FRS supporters around the country walked or ran the inaugural 5K Rural Run. Check out the Facebook album and map of 5K locations. Congratulations to everyone who made it across the finish line and special thanks to all sponsors including NISC, ISPN Network Services and CoBank. 

GHP Wellness Connections, a workplace wellness plan, is available to NTCA members enrolled in a GHP medical plan. The wellness plan is designed to promote health and well-being awareness through rewardable, healthy, habit-forming actions. GHP partners with OptumHealth to offer Rally Health, an online portal which provides a fun and easy way for participants to engage with their health.  To remain flexible and responsive to members and participants during these extraordinary times, the GHP Trust Committee recently approved several convenient alternatives to the in-person biometric screening requirements in 2020.  GHP Wellness Connections also collaborated with the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) in promotion of the 5K Rural Run ─a “win-win” for employees, members and our industry. 

GHP Wellness Connections will continue to provide resources, updates, and support to ensure each member company is engaged and successful throughout the remainder of this year and into 2021. Contact your NTCA member relations manager to learn how to get this plan started at your company.
