Letter from the CEO
Dear Friends:

As you might have noticed, The LifeCare Connection has been given a bit of a makeover.

Basically, we wanted to make the publication more valuable in terms of the news and information we share with you while also making it easier to navigate through each issue. To that end, we've created some new “sections” (such as the Promotion & Utilization Tips and Real Life, Real Solutions sections) and we've grouped the articles a little differently to make it easier for you to quickly find information that interests you most.

I'd like to call your attention to one change, in particular: it's a new section of the publication called Promotion & Utilization Tips. Most of the articles you'll find in this section refer specifically to LifeCare services and programs. Although many of you aren't LifeCare clients (yet!), we believe the articles you'll find here are valuable because they apply broadly to work/life programs and employee benefits in general. For example, the second article in this issue's Promotion & Utilization Tips section is all about LifeCare's work/life promotional campaign. Even if you aren't a LifeCare client, this piece may give you some useful ideas on how to promote or enhance your current work/life offerings—or even how to promote other benefit programs to your employees.

We hope you like the format changes. And we hope you and your employees have an enjoyable and productive summer!

As always, we're interested in knowing how we can better serve you, so e-mail us at connection@lifecare.com, fax us at 203-291-3571, or call us at 800-873-4636 4636 to share ideas and offer feedback.

Sincerely,

Peter G. Burki, CEO
