CHWN, CLLH INCLUDE HUNDREDS OF TOP PHYSICIANS
Incredible choice and the best
care—that’s what you get when
you join the Centegra Health &
Wellness Network (CHWN). Sign up with
BlueCross BlueShield HMO of Illinois or the
new Centegra Land of Lincoln Health plan
(CLLH).
“Centegra Land of Lincoln Health is an
exceptional health insurance plan that will
lower the costs for people who already see
Centegra doctors and other providers,”
says Jeff Schmidt, senior vice president of
clinical integration and payer strategies with
Centegra Health System.
Patients can see CLLH preferred
partner providers for the lowest copays,
coinsurance and out-of-pocket costs. In
addition to Centegra providers, CLLH
members will also have access to Land
of Lincoln Health in-network providers
throughout the state. Coverage for
treatment outside the CLLH network also
will be high-quality and cost-effective.
“The CLLH plan provides a cost-
effective, tailor-made insurance option
for consumers,” says Daniel Yunker, chief
executive officer of Land of Lincoln Health.
With nearly 400 highly experienced
doctors, including 300 of the region’s top
specialists, it’s the largest physician network
in McHenry County.
Both plans will be available to
individuals and groups during open
enrollment, Nov. 15 through Feb. 15,
2015. Find out if the CLLH product is

HealthSystem
Designed with
you in mind
An innovative new hospital is taking
shape for the people of southern
McHenry and northern Kane counties.
Centegra Hospital–Huntley is being
thoughtfully built, incorporating
feedback from associates, patients
and greater Huntley community
members.
Construction is right on schedule
for the 360,000-square-foot hospital,
which is due to open in the fall of 2016.
The steel beams were completed in
October, and the roof will be in place
in December. The structure will be
enclosed by April.
“We’re bringing it all together in
one place,” says Chief Executive Officer
Michael S. Eesley. The 128-bed facility
will add hospital care to a campus
that already offers physician offices,
an imaging center, a lab, immediate
care, outpatient services, wellness and
preventive care, and Centegra Health
Bridge Fitness Center.
The project creates “more than
1,000 construction and health care
positions, which will add to the vitality
of the growing community.”

Do you experience aches and
pains? Is it hard for you to move
certain joints without stiffness or
discomfort?
There might be help for you.
Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Centers
are offering a new therapy for relieving
muscle and joint pain.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a
revolutionary, non-invasive muscle treatment
process that helps improve joint stability
and mobility, prevent injury, and reduce or
eliminate pain.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
According to Brad Boelkens, certified MAT
specialist at Centegra Health Bridge, MAT
is a process designed to correct muscle
imbalances in the body that may be caused
by injury, overuse or stress. These imbalances
can cause muscles to become weak or
tight, which may affect range of motion in
the joints. If joint range of motion is limited,
especially on only one side, the body will
compensate, which further magnifies the
imbalance.
“MAT identifies which specific muscles
aren’t functioning well and then addresses
the associated weaknesses,” Boelkens says.
Gently examining muscles on a massage
table helps guide MAT specialists to the root
cause of the pain or dysfunction. Isometric
exercises focus on retraining weakened
muscles.
“MAT can prepare your body to get back
to the activities you enjoy,” Boelkens says.
“And it’s safe for people of all ages and
abilities.”
FLEX YOUR MUSCLES!
MAT is available at both Centegra Health
Bridge Fitness Centers, and members are
eligible for a complimentary assessment.
