NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / At Aflac, we work to help create better health and financial outcomes for our policyholders. Sometimes that mission can be very personal.
One day on the basketball court, a young man felt a little off. Something wasn't right. But at 23 years old, fresh out of college, looking forward to grad school - the prime of his life, he thought, what could be wrong? Flu-like symptoms persisted, followed by unexplained bruising, causing him to eventually have his spleen removed. He couldn't work, used all of his sick leave and even borrowed some from colleagues. In and out of hospitals, with no prior health issues, this 23-year-old was left wondering: How did so much happen so fast?
Now, I know what you're thinking, and no - this young man did not have Aflac. Sadly, for me at least, the young man in this story was me. Fortunately, I recovered and have been able to pursue a career as an actuary, a numbers guy who relies heavily on statistics that I use every day to determine how to price Aflac plans and keep the company profitable. For a living, I measure how serious illness is often a product of age, but I am living proof that in some cases, statistics don't really matter as much, particularly when it's happening to you.
With August being National Wellness Month, it is an opportune time to reflect on personal health matters. In fact, we recently conducted 2024 Aflac Wellness Matters Survey, our second annual survey, to obtain data that should open some eyes. According to the survey, for instance,
We know highlighting prevention works, and we want everyone to live long and happy lives. So during National Wellness Month, make the changes you need in order to be on top of your wellness. Because whether you are a policyholder, an employee or a member of the community, to Aflac, your Wellness Matters.
