As a nurse and joint ANA and ANAMASS member, you are<br />

committed to providing superior care to your patients. It is<br />

your passi<strong>on</strong>, and you invest all of your energy in your work.<br />

But who is taking care of you while you take care of others?<br />

Through ANA and ANAMASS Pers<strong>on</strong>al Benefits, we are here<br />

to help with seven important programs that every nurse<br />

must c<strong>on</strong>sider. We carefully screened partners committed<br />

to providing ANAMASS member nurses with great value, and<br />

we make it easy to cover yourself in these critical areas.<br />

Travel discounts are the #1 requested benefit<br />

program from ANAMASS members. ANA has<br />

partnered with BookingCommunity to offer<br />

members hotel room rates that are discounted<br />

up to 70% -- lower rates than you will find at any<br />

<strong>on</strong>line travel or hotel website. ANA and ANAMASS<br />

members get access to amazing deals that are not available<br />

to the public, at over 800,000 participating Hotels and<br />

Resorts Worldwide. Plan a trip and watch the savings grow –<br />

it pays to be an ANAMASS member!<br />

leading student lender, to help you save m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />

your federal or private student loans to a<br />

lower interest rate can save you thousands.<br />

Many nurses mistakenly believe they are covered<br />

by their employer's liability insurance — until a<br />

licensing board complaint or lawsuit is filed and they<br />

find that no <strong>on</strong>e is advocating for their interests.<br />

Protect yourself and your career with professi<strong>on</strong>al<br />

liability insurance. ANA has partnered with Proliability®<br />

powered by Mercer, a global leader in insurance, to offer<br />

liability coverage specifically geared to nurses. Remember, a<br />

complaint or suit can be filed even if you did nothing wr<strong>on</strong>g, and<br />

an investment in liability insurance will protect your future and<br />

the future of your family. Get the protecti<strong>on</strong> you need without<br />

paying more than is necessary by taking advantage of the<br />

competitive rates for ANA members.<br />

L<strong>on</strong>g Term Care Insurance is increasingly the choice<br />

of ANA Members seeking to protect their hardearned<br />

assets from the high cost of l<strong>on</strong>g-term<br />

services al<strong>on</strong>g with the resulting financial spenddown<br />

and potential loss of self-reliance.<br />

Final Expense Insurance, also known as Burial or Funeral<br />

Insurance, is a type of whole life insurance designed for those<br />

over 40 years of age, to cover funeral expenses and existing bills<br />

when you pass.<br />
