A monthly program designed to help you be a better, healthier you.
Get energized about learning to thrive with Dr. Gregg Stefanek, Dow Family Health Center Medical Director, and Maggie Rettelle, RDN, CHCW, nutritionist and wellness coach.
Join us virtually on the first Thursday of every month, noon ET / 11 a.m. CT
The Dow Family Health Center experts care about you. They definitely want you to feel better when you’re sick. Ideally, they want to be healthy. Even more, they want you to thrive.
Have you ever really thought about thriving? We’re often just trying to survive each day. For some, taking steps to enhance our health and lives regularly gets put on the shelf. Our healthcare experts are eager to share their healthy-living insight and information to empower you to thrive.
Through most of the year, presenters will provide helpful knowledge and engage in dialogue regarding how to thrive. They will provide insights based on their experience, all with enthusiasm and compassion. Topics cover mental, emotional, and physical health and wellbeing. All sessions will include interactive, thought-provoking discussions on health issues, nutrition and more to help you achieve your full potential – at work and in life.
Sessions are led by the Dow Family Health Center and other health and wellness experts.

Men’s Health: Winning the Game of Life Presented by Dr. Gregg Stefanek with guest Ben Walker, Global Reliability Engineer
While men may do whatever they can to get on the golf course, many don’t put the same importance on their health. 45% of men didn’t visit a medical provider for an annual wellness visit or checkup according to an Aflac study2 published in June 2021. The study surveyed 1,000 U.S. men ages 18 years and older. Even more concerning, three-quarters had not gone to the doctor even if they had symptoms of a specific illness and 84% had not consulted a doctor about an injury.
Winning at the game of life is the most important game anyone will play. Whatever sports position you or the man in your life enjoys – shortstop, goalie or little league coach – tune in to learn how to be healthier and thrive.
