At Esse Health, our “We want you well” focus is what drives our team and all we do. Together, we are “Doing Well” in many different ways – whether it be caring for our patients, caring for our team, caring for ourselves, or caring for our broader community.

Each March, a popular tradition at Esse Health is Caring for Our Community through our annual Sock & Underwear Drive for the St. Patrick Center.

As we approach Open Enrollment, we’re taking a look at the MetLife Legal Plan,  a new voluntary benefit that employees regularly working 60+ hours per pay period can elect at Open Enrollment for 2023. 

Legal matters occur throughout life, when you’re getting married, buying a home, caring for aging parents or dealing with identity theft or a tax audit.  Having access to a network of attorneys through a legal plan empowers you to handle these costly issues as they arise. 

In this episode, MetLife Representative Tim Bearint explains how the MetLife Legal Plan can support you when dealing with legal matters surrounding life’s planned and unplanned events.  With unlimited access to experienced attorneys for covered situations, it’s like having an attorney on retainer.  Tim also answers many common questions people have about this benefit.

At Esse Health, We want you well, and that includes the digital wellbeing and safety of our team members and their families.

We’re doing more online than ever before—shopping, banking, and connecting with others — making us vulnerable to fraud and online threats.  In turn, this creates stress and impacts our financial and emotional well-being.

However, you don’t have to feel like you’re on your own.  To help support you in this area, we’ve added a new voluntary benefit that you can elect at Open Enrollment for 2023 - MetLife Identity & Fraud Protection powered by Aura. 

In this episode, David Seifert, VP of Solutions at Aura, explains how the Aura platform helps safeguard the things that matter to you most: your identity, money and assets, family, reputation, and privacy.  Learn how Aura can proactively protect you in these key areas and how their service team is available 24/7 over the phone to help you with any issues.  If you are a victim of fraud, Aura’s White Glove Resolution Specialists can also work with you to navigate bureaus and government institutions to resolve your fraud incident quickly.

Life is busy and you shouldn’t have to spend your time becoming a cyber security expert.  MetLife Identity & Fraud Protection powered by Aura helps give you peace of mind in keeping your digital information safe, so that you can focus on the things that are most important to you.
