About
Pages in this Section
SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Published January 26, 2022
This is the final week of SchoolCare's 2022 Well-Being Recharge. This week focuses on the last two components of the six basics of healthy living – food and weight. Group Relations Specialist Chris Glenn discusses the connection between a healthy diet and weight management then dives into some of the ways your SchoolCare Benefits can help on your health journey in this week’s video.
*Don’t forget to register for this week’s raffle! We are giving away six (6) FitBit Versas and four (4) $100 Hannaford Gift Cards. Details and code word clue in the image below. Raffle registration is open until Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022, at noon.
One way to help live your healthiest lifestyle is through a balanced diet that includes a variety of healthy foods and limits those high in saturated fat and sugar. Dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, root vegetables and lots of fresh herbs are great staples to include in your diet during these winter months to provide fiber, vitamins and minerals.
There are some great resources available in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Eating for Healthy Weight section to help get you started on a path to healthier eating for not only for you, but your family, too.
A healthy diet is central to so much of your holistic health. If you are overweight, dropping just 5-10% of your total body weight can improve your blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugars. It provides fuel for exercise, supports mental clarity and can help with improved sleep. Turning to your SchoolCare benefits is an excellent way to get support if you need it to maintain a healthy diet, improve your overall wellness and reduce your risk of chronic disease.
Meet With a Nutritionist
Your SchoolCare/Cigna medical plan covers consultation with in-network nutrition counselors, registered dieticians, and naturopathic doctors as it does appointments with physicians and mental and behavioral health providers. Appointments are subject to your plan’s in-network benefit cost share and there is no referral required to seek a provider. Find an in-network provider by logging in to myCigna, clicking on the Find Care & Costs menu and search Doctor by Type, or search for a specific provider to see if they are in-network.
There are also several ways to improve your nutrition and earn cash incentives through SchoolCare’s Good For You! Well-Being Program.
