Salve Regina’s open enrollment period for health care benefits — including dental, vision, AFLAC supplemental insurance, flexible spending and health savings accounts — is being held Nov. 1-15. Salve Regina’s employees are also invited to join the Office of Human Resources for the Benefits and Wellness Fair, which runs on Wednesday, Nov. 1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Ochre Court.
For important changes and full details on Salve Regina’s health care benefits, this document will give all the information. This is the time of year to enroll in coverage, change health care plans, add or delete family members, or drop coverage.
One major change to note is that healthcare insurance plans will be replaced by Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare on Jan. 1, 2024. During the Benefits and Wellness Fair, Human Resources staff and benefit presenters will be available to review benefit coverage information, provide supporting documentation and answer questions.
Wellness events have also been scheduled for the fair and are designed to inspire employees to make healthy choices that lead to feeling healthier, more resilient and well rested. Registration is required in advance for the events.

During this massage, participants will sit in a special chair that supports their entire body. They can remain fully clothed as their massage therapist works on their shoulders, neck, arms, back and hands.
