"Thank you to the Hampshire County Group Insurance Trust for running the HEALTHY ME campaign. The health activities in the campaign dovetail nicely with the health issues my personal physician recommends I address to maintain an active lifestyle. The best part was not just impressing my primary care physician with my knowledge of healthy eating & exercise, but getting a $100 gift card to boot! I'll take a prescription for cash over meds any day"
