October 12th is Indigenous Peoples' Day, a day to honor the cultures, histories, and enduring contributions of Indigenous communities across North America.

So much of Indigenous history, tradition, and perspective is woven into the story of this country, and this is a good day to explore it a little more.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian is a wonderful place to start, with online resources exploring Native art, history, and culture through digital exhibitions, collections, and firsthand stories from Native communities.

Wishing you a meaningful and reflective Indigenous Peoples' Day.

This month, we are sharing a story from the Boston Marathon that is hard to forget. During the closing stages of the race, first-time runner Ajay Haridasse collapsed near the 26-mile marker with severe leg cramps. After repeatedly struggling to get up, Haridasse was preparing to crawl the final stretch of Boylston Street.

That is when two fellow competitors, Aaron Beggs and Robson Oliveira, decided to stop. With their own finish times and personal goals on the line, they lifted Haridasse between them and supported him all the way across the finish line. Haridasse tracked both men down by their bib numbers afterward just to say thank you.

This story is a beautiful reminder that some of the most powerful moments happen when someone chooses to slow down for another person. In a race where every second counts, these two chose something that mattered more.

Life has a way of moving quickly, and certain changes, whether expected or not, can affect your health insurance coverage in ways that aren't always obvious at the moment.

Some life events trigger a Special Enrollment Period, a 60-day window before or after the event during which you can enroll in or update your coverage outside the standard Open Enrollment Period. If any of the following have happened in your household over the past year, it may be worth a conversation:

🔵Getting married, divorced, or welcoming a new child into your family
🔵Moving to a new ZIP code, county, or state
🔵Turning 26 and coming off a parent's plan, or losing job-based coverage
🔵Changes in your income or household size
🔵Turning 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare, or becoming a U.S. citizen

If anything on that list sounds familiar, we'd love to connect to see how we can help you during a Special Enrollment Period. Give our team a call, and we can get started.
