Subject: Change in Health Insurance Provider
Dear Employees,
We would like to inform you that Northway Corporation will be changing its health insurance provider effective July 1. This change is part of our ongoing effort to improve employee benefits while managing overall costs.
Under the new plan, employees will have access to a wider network of medical facilities, including several hospitals that were not covered under the previous provider. In addition, customer support services will be available 24 hours a day.
Employees who wish to review the details of the new plan may attend one of the information sessions scheduled for June 10 and June 15. Attendance is optional, but advance registration is required due to limited seating.
Please note that no action is required from employees at this time. Further instructions will be provided closer to the effective date.
If you have any questions, contact the HR Department.
Sincerely,
Human Resources Team
