Because we can't gather in person, Asante Human Resources has come up with a clever way to hold its annual benefits fair, which starts Nov. 2. During select hours, employees and their covered spouses can go online and speak live with benefits vendors.

Asante is living up to its reputation as a great place to work by constructing an RV park in Medford that will house Asante families displaced by the fires. Families can live there while they rebuild or seek permanent housing.

Because Asante pays biweekly, employees get the gift of a third paycheck twice a year. Hello, October! This Friday's check will be fatter than usual because it won't have deductions for health savings or flexible spending accounts.

By becoming part of the Asante Health Network, the Medford-based Radiation Oncology Consultants brings lower out-of-pocket costs for many cancer patients enrolled in the Asante Health Plan.

The mobile app, a new benefit from Asante, lets you manage all aspects of your health care — from medical to billing — 24/7. You can also connect live with care guides who can provide advice and help.

Now's your chance to show off your talent by auditioning to be the voice of Asante! The winner will be heard in all automated phone messages and public service announcements. Enter before Oct. 28!
