EFAPs help mitigate personal crises during difficult life events (marital, family, stress, substance abuse, grief) and periods of heavy work responsibilities.

Health Navigation
Though patients often hesitate to question their trusted care provider, when facing surgery, or being diagnosed with a critical illness, or when an unexplained medical issue arises, you want the ability to seek a qualified second opinion. Health Navigation can catch a mistaken diagnosis, or confirm an original diagnosis so you can come to terms with your options. Health Navigation provides a patient with more informed counsel, access to a broader variety of treatment options, and improved ability to choose the right course of action.
