Your One Step This Month: Find Support for

Each Stage of Life!

The Pinkerton Family: Michele, Brynn (3), Miley (5 mo.), and Ryan

"Any time my family needs healthcare, it never fails: the person seeing us always says, 'Wow, you have really good benefits,'" Ryan said. Those benefits have also supported the growth of his family, including the arrival of his second daughter at the start of 2023. "We chose our plan knowing we wanted to add to our family. When we had our daughter, a lot of our costs were covered by the plan."

Ryan sees his experiences as a great example of how the company lives out its values. "We’re a family-owned business, and we treat our employees like family. The benefits plan is one way the company shows up for its people."



This month, take some time to learn more about how your benefits can help you—no matter what stage of life you are in.
