Platinum SpotlightAmie Simmons, Speech-Language Pathologist at Dickenson Elementary

Three years ago, Amie Simmons knew nothing about the Humana Go365 program. Today she’s a Wellness Champion spreading information, assistance, and encouragement to everyone around her.

Amie first learned about the Go365 program in the Spring of 2014 when Dickenson Elementary hosted a wellness presentation. That presentation sparked her to get a biometric screening there. Around the same time, she received a Fitbit, giving her added incentive to get moving.

In 2015, Amie volunteered to take the lead on scheduling the presentation and screenings at Dickenson, and she continues to make sure her colleagues are connected and engaged with Go365. She helps others to register their account, sign up for monthly challenges, and connect their fitness devices. “I enjoy motivating everyone to participate so they can all become healthier while earning extra Points toward free merchandise,” she explained.

These days, Amie helps Dickenson set up the Biggest Loser and Commit to Fit Challenges. “We like the monthly challenges because they not only motivate us to add more steps, but it also helps to unite the staff as a team.”

Amie’s husband also participates in Go365 through his employer’s Humana health plan. They keep each other on track to stay healthy by exercising and completing their preventive care exams. The couple has turned their Go365 activities into a friendly rivalry, which Amie says is a win for both of them. “We enjoy seeing who can earn the most Points,” she joked.

Amie’s spent her Bucks on a free Fitbit as well as Amazon, Target, and Lowes gift cards, which she’s used toward the purchase of new outdoor furniture. Congratulations to Amie on reaching Go365 Platinum Status while helping the staff at Dickenson with their wellness goals.

If you’re interested in having a Go365 presentation or biometric screening at your location, or if you would like more information on setting up a Biggest Loser Challenge at your school, contact Ashley Kuczynski at 813-520-3169 or akuczynski@humana.com

We Want You!Share Your Story!

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, with early detection and treatment, you can greatly improve your chance of survival.

There are three steps you can take to help minimize your risk of breast cancer.

1. Breast self-awareness. Become familiar with how your breasts feel and look. Be sure to watch for the following and, if seen, consult with your physician:

• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area

• A change in the size or shape of the breast

• Dimpling or puckering in the skin of the breast

• A nipple turned inward

• Discharge (fluid) from the nipple

• Scaly, red, or swollen skin on the breast, nipple, or areola (the dark area of skin at the center of the breast)

2. Annual well-woman exam. Visit your primary care physician or your gynecologist to have a breast exam that checks for any abnormalities. Use this opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your breast health.

3. Mammograms. This screening can detect cancer even before you can feel the lump.

Talk to your doctor about the recommendations that are right for you.

Your FREE Personalized Wellbeing and Rewards ProgramWhen it comes to health and wellness, you have your own approach—one that works for you. Go365 makes it easier to get moving along your path with more ways to start, more activities to unlock, and more ways to rack up rewards.

OCTOBER 2017 PAGE 6NextBack

Questions to Ask Before a MammogramBefore you get a mammogram, you may want to ask your health care provider the following questions:

• What should I do to prepare for my mammogram?

• Who will receive my mammogram report? Can you send it to my other doctors?

• How long will the mammogram take?

• Do you have my previous mammogram results?

• When will I learn about the results?

• Who will notify me of my results?

• What happens if the mammogram shows something abnormal?

• Will I have to pay anything for a mammogram?

Schedule and Prepare for Your Mammogram• Schedule your mammogram a few days after your menstrual cycle (if applicable).

This is when your breasts are least sensitive.

• Make sure you have a list of where and when you had any previous mammograms, as well as the results of those mammograms.

• The facility should provide you with instructions on what to do the day of your mammogram, such as avoiding deodorant, lotions, and perfumes, and bringing your ID and insurance card.

Get Your Breast Cancer ScreeningsIf you are a female over the age of 40, it’s time to start getting mammograms. Medical plan statistics show that 227 (out of 231) HCPS Humana medical plan members diagnosed with cancer did not receive regular screenings prior to being diagnosed.

There is no cost for Humana members to have a screening mammogram as part of preventive care.

Earn 400 Go365 PointsWhen you get a health screening, which includes mammograms, you’ll earn 400 Points. Be sure to submit the Prevention Activity Form, available online, within 90 days to earn Points. Go365 members with Humana medical coverage will automatically earn Points once the claim has been received and processed.

2-D vs 3-D? A 2-D mammogram is the two-dimensional X-ray of your breast, while 3-D creates a three-dimensional image of your breast. Several studies have shown that 3-D mammograms find more cancers than traditional 2-D mammograms and also reduce the number of false positives. There may be an additional cost for a 3-D mammogram.

Tampa Bay Mobile Mammography A number of HCPS attendees at the Saturday Benefits Education Meeting and Health Fair received a mammogram in the Tampa Bay Mobile Mammography bus. Aimee Fonda, School Counselor at Williams Middle Magnet School had this to say:

“I am so excited to share how great this experience was! Tampa Bay Mobile Mammography bus was super convenient, the staff was so friendly and, most importantly, I was in and out fast! I got to check off one of the most important items on that yearly to do list! I highly recommend it!”

The District is working on a schedule that will bring the bus to schools. For information, please reach out to Amy Meldrum at ameldrum1@humana.com.

Aetna Resources for Living Is All About YOU!Life After Cancer Thanks to medical progress, more people survive cancer than ever before. As of June 2017, over 15 million Americans were living with cancer.¹

But numbers don’t tell the full story. “Surviving cancer” isn’t just about achieving a good treatment result. Once there is a diagnosis of cancer, life is different.

New issues and questionsDuring cancer treatment, professionals tell patients what they need to do. Patients count on friends and family to support them during this phase too.

But afterwards, survivors may feel alone. They’ve gone through treatments that may have been scary or unpleasant.

And now they have to live with new concerns and uncertainties. Here are just a few questions that can come up:

✓Which doctor(s) should they follow up with?

✓How often should they go for check-ups?

✓Who can they look to for support?

✓Who can advise them on changes in diet, exercise or other daily activities?

✓How can they manage their fears?

✓What can they expect or hope for in the future?

Each survivor finds hope differentlyWe’re all raised in families and cultures that have unique ways of hoping.² How do you find hope?

For cancer survivors, finding reasons and ways to hope is very critical. Hope helps survivors get through the changes and challenges ahead. It can also help them inspire others.

Surviving and thriving beyond cancerHere are just a few sites where survivors, caregivers, and loved ones can find ideas and help after cancer:

• canceradvocacy.org • cancer.gov • ncsd.org • cancer.net

Cancer survivors may sometimes feel alone. But they’re not. More than ever, there are other survivors and resources to help them create and pursue their goals and dreams.
