Make Achievable Health Goals for the New Year

Your TRS health plan offers so much more than coverage for doctors’ visits. With a variety of programs, you’ll be well-prepared to take a well-rounded approach to your health and wellness in 2026. We’re here to help you set realistic and achievable health goals – at little or no extra cost.  

Here are the resources to tap into. 

“Exercise more” doesn’t have to mean running a marathon. Even a little extra exercise can provide big benefits. You can start small by taking a walk around the block and working your way up from there. Exercise can improve your mood and memory. It can also help you sleep better — another boost for better health. To help, you can join a Fitness Program!
