Your eyes and teeth do more than help you see and smile—they can reveal important clues about your overall health 👀

Taking care of both is a simple way to stay proactive and protect your well-being over time.

Join us for an educational webinar to explore simple ways to support your health and manage costs, including:
✔️ Why dental and vision care matter more as we age
✔️ How preventive care can help catch issues early
✔️ How AMBA plans provide access and savings

📅 July 14th | ⏰ 12:00 p.m. ET

Stay safe 💙

Severe weather is possible across much of Indiana this afternoon and into the overnight hours, with damaging wind gusts, large hail and tornadoes all possible.

Now is the time to review your severe weather plan and make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially while sleeping. If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, move immediately to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and stay away from windows.

Stay weather aware, monitor trusted forecasts and be prepared to take action if conditions worsen. Learn more about tornado and severe weather safety at getprepared.in.gov.
