Corporate Synergies is pleased to announce that your medical benefits carrier, CIGNA Healthcare, has teamed up with HopeLab, a non-profit organization that combines rigorous research with innovative solutions to help young people with serious and chronic illnesses improve their health and quality of life. Their first joint initiative involves offering teens and young adults with cancer a FREE computer video game called Re-Mission™.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS AN EMPLOYER
In a time of exponentially increasing premium costs, you may wonder: What benefits am I really getting out of the carrier we have chosen? Here is a perfect example. What better reason is there to reach out to your employees than to let them know about an industry leading program, free of charge, to help their young adults and adolescents face the challenges presented by their cancer. Re-Mission, a video game rated “T” for Teen by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), is the first video game scientifically proven to improve health-related outcomes for young people with cancer.
By playing this game, trial research has shown the following benefits:
- Young adults complied with their treatment more consistently than those who did not play the game
- Playing increased their cancer-related knowledge and gave them a greater sense of power and control over their disease
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
Cigna Healthcare is working with HopeLab to promote Re-Mission and to distribute it free of charge to young people with cancer and the doctors and facilities that treat them.
The game is also available through the CIGNA website at www.CIGNA.com/re-mission, so that anyone living with cancer may order the game.
