Part One: How disability and life insurance helps enhance wellness

Wellness isn’t just about eating right and getting enough rest and exercise. It’s also about preventing illness, injuries and disabilities. As the exclusive sponsor of this year’s ASDA Wellness Initiative for dental students, ADA Members Insurance Plans issued by Great-West Financial^® is happy to support you in achieving your goals in fitness and in health. We want you to live your best life. In fact, our website, bringhealthyon.com, is dedicated to providing you with a variety of health-enhancing resources such as recipes, exercise videos and articles.

Your financial well-being is also an important part of wellness.

If you’re a typical dental student, you’re not only dealing with the daily stress of dental school, you’re also probably facing mounting student loan debt. While we can’t alleviate the financial strain of dental school, we can help you prepare for the possibility that if anything ever did happen — injury, illness or worse — you and your family can have some financial protection in place.

• $2,000/mo disability insurance for up to 7 years and up to $150,000 in student loan repayment
