Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Health Depot Annual Members Meeting on May 6th! We elected two board members into service – Shanan Bailey and Charlie Hartung and discussed the general direction of the association for 2026.
Here are remarks from Health Depot Board President, Doug Abbott.
Health Depot Association Members,
We want to extend a warm welcome to our newest members and also recognize our newly elected board member, Charlie Hartung.

Charlie brings strong industry experience and valuable insight, and we’re excited to have his perspective as we continue identifying impactful health and wellness resources for our members.
At Health Depot Association, our mission remains focused on helping members access practical, valuable, and cost-conscious resources that support their health, wellness, and everyday needs. We know that every individual and family has different priorities, and we are committed to offering options that help you make informed decisions about what works best for you.
New Dental and Vision Program Launch
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new dental and vision program for Health Depot Association members through United Concordia and VSP.
This new program is designed to give members access to trusted dental and vision resources through two nationally recognized organizations. United Concordia brings dental program options that can help members better manage routine dental care and oral health needs. VSP provides access to vision care resources, including eye exams, eyewear, and a broad network of vision providers.
Dental and vision care are important parts of overall health, and we are pleased to make these resources available to members as part of our ongoing effort to expand the value of Health Depot Association membership. More information about OptiSmile is available on the Health Depot Association website.
AirMedCare Emergent Membership
We are also pleased to highlight the AirMedCare Emergent Membership, an important resource now available to add to your Health Depot membership.
In a medical emergency, getting to the right hospital quickly can make a significant difference. AirMedCare provides access to emergency air medical transport to the hospital for members when air transportation is medically necessary and provided by a participating AirMedCare network provider.
This membership is designed to help protect members from the high out-of-pocket costs that can be associated with emergency air ambulance transportation. It offers peace of mind for individuals and families, especially those who live, work, or travel in areas where ground transportation may not be the fastest option during a serious medical emergency.
Looking Ahead
We truly appreciate your continued feedback on the benefits and resources that matter most to you. Your input helps guide the association as we evaluate new programs and partnerships that can provide meaningful value to our members.
Please continue to visit the Members’ Spot and your Member Portal for the most up-to-date information about available member benefits, resources, and program announcements. You can also stay connected through our newsletter and social media channels, including Facebook and LinkedIn.
Thank you again for your continued membership and support. We are excited about the direction of Health Depot Association and look forward to bringing you more resources that support your health, wellness, and financial peace of mind.
