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 />

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

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 />
