Hi FAM,
As summer winds down, it time to get ready for the new school year. Buying school supplies and scoping out sales for new clothes is the easy part.
Making sure that your children have a safe and healthy school year is a bit more challenging. US Family Health Plan – a TRICARE Prime health option – has 5 important tips to help you prepare your children for a healthy start to the new school year.

Nothing says summer like great family trips to the lake, the pool and the beach! These summer trips make us recall fun, laughter, the smell of the beach, laying back with a great book, and just feeling the warm sun caress your face. They are about building sand castles on the beach, fishing, and other great family activities.
Apples have always been a symbol of good health. Wasn’t it Benjamin Franklin who said, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.”? But while apples may be healthy, apple shaped tummies are not. As more and more Americans are becoming “apple-shaped”, US Family Health Plan – a TRICARE Prime Option – wants you to know that rounder bellies can pose a serious problem when it comes to your health.
The 4th of July is really the kick-off of the summer season. Families are either returning from the extended weekend holiday, jetting off on a quick getaway or anticipating an upcoming family vacation. Whichever bucket you fall in, know that as quick as the season comes… after the 4th of July it rapidly goes by. Before you know it, you will be doing back to school shopping! At US Family Health Plan we encourage our members to get a jump start on the back to school season! Schedule all of your required appointments early—Optometrist-Physical Exam-Sports Physical, etc.
