Employee Assistant Program – Best Care

We would like to remind benefits eligible employees about one of the benefits available to you and your dependent family members: the Employee Assistance Program provided by Best Care. The benefit is twofold: short-term counseling and access to the Best Care website.

Best Care provides benefits eligible employees and dependent family members’ free short-term professional counseling sessions through Best Care’s network of licensed counselors.
