December is Open Enrollment for Pinnacle Health Plans
Details on the new medical, dental, vision, and life plans will be sent out to the Team next week. These plans will be effective on January 1st.
Open enrollment is the time to make changes to your benefits without needing a "qualifying event" to occur. You can add or remove coverage for yourself or any spouse/dependents.
Please keep an eye out next week for an email from Stacey with all the details.

Dr. Matt Daggett continues to get the word out about NanoScope. Dr. Daggett was recently featured in a TV news segment in which he compared a standard 4mm arthroscope with a NanoScope. He explained to the reporter that he's converting most of his procedures to NanoScope due to less or no need for anesthesia, less PACU time, less pain, faster recovery, and improved patient outcomes.
