540 DGA members and their dependents received free flu shots during the 2019 Health Fairs in Los Angeles and New York. Hosted by the DGA-Producer Pension and Health Plans, all members were encouraged to attend these fairs to take advantage of the wealth of information that was being disseminated on top of the chance to bolster their health for the coming flu season. The Directors Guild Foundation covered the cost of flu shots for participants not covered under the Health Plan and provided refreshments.
On October 5, the Health Fair at Guild headquarters in Los Angeles also provided benefits information directly from Pension & Health Plans representatives and their affiliate organizations including: Delta Dental, Express Scripts and Vision Service Plan. The fair also offered palliative care information, educational seminars and a guided tour of the Plans' new benefits portal, MyPHP, where participants can soon access their personal benefits information including Health Plan eligibility, medical claims, employer contributions, estimated pension benefit accruals and more.
On October 19, members from the Eastern region were able to get their flu shots and find out more about their benefits during the Health Fair in the DGA’s New York Theater lobby. In addition to the information provided by the Pension & Health Plans representatives and their affiliate organizations, members from this region had also been encouraged to take advantage of the Pension and Health Plans private sessions that took place in New York from October 16-18.
As a bonus, both fairs also offered free neck and shoulder massages and raffles where attendees had the opportunity to win a variety of prizes including a brand new Apple watch Series 3 with GPS and cellular.
(NOTE: Los Angeles-based members can schedule an in-person meeting and any member can make an appointment for a phone meeting with a DGA-Producer Pension and Health representative at any time by calling 323-866-2200.)
