TRUSTEE ELECTION – CENTRAL REGION AND AT LARGE (STATEWIDE) SEATS

Central Region (Anchorage)

ASEA Local 52 members in good standing have voted and elected Jodi Andres to the ASEA Health Benefits Trust Board of Trustees for the Central Region.

Central Region Candidate Election Results:

• Jodi Andres > 77 votes
• Sylvia L. Whipple > 33 votes

At Large (Statewide)

The candidate for the At Large (Statewide) seat, Brittany Staker, ran unopposed. The Board of Trustees has declared this candidate eligible and, therefore, elected in keeping with the Health Trust’s Election Policy.

The PSEA Trustee position is selected by PSEA; therefore, PSEA members did not vote in this election.

We thank the candidates for their interest in becoming a Trustee as well as all of those who participated in the process by voting!

GET YOUR FREE FLU SHOT THROUGH THE PACIFIC HEALTH COALITION
This year, it’s more important than ever to get your seasonal flu shot. And there is no cost to you or the Health Plan when you get your flu shot through the Coalition!

Drive-through flu shot clinics:

• Get your flu shot this year from the safety of your own car.
• No cost to you or the Health Plan! (100% paid by the Pacific Health Coalition.)
• Drive-through flu shot clinics allow you to stay in your car and maintain a safe social distance from others.
• Choose a day / time / location that is most convenient for you.
• Enrolled participants and dependents age 9 and over may participate.

Pre-registration is required at coalitionhealthfair.org:

• When you pre-register, you’ll receive a flu shot form with instructions by email.
• You must wear a face mask and present your flu shot form at the drive-through clinic.
• Only quadrivalent flu shots will be administered; the high dose flu vaccine is not available.
• Availability of services is limited. Pre-registration closes one week before the drive-through flu shot clinic.
• Pre-registration may close early if maximum capacity is reached on a specific date.

Juneau participants may pre-register by Monday, November 30, for a voucher to redeem for a seasonal flu vaccine at select locations. (Drive-through sites are not available in Juneau.) There is no cost to you or the Health Plan (100% paid by the Pacific Health Coalition.) Quantities are limited, so pre-register early.

Can’t make it to a drive-through site? Get the seasonal flu vaccine at a local pharmacy, a Coalition Health Center or at your doctor’s office. Your Health Plan covers seasonal flu vaccines at 100%.

Your Health Plan also covers recommended preventive screenings at 100% (like the lab tests usually available at the Health Fair). Ask your doctor what’s right for you.
