From the CEO – March 2025
We are looking forward to our upcoming Annual Member Meeting on March 7, 2025 at 11 a.m. ET. We will be hosting this as a hybrid event again this year. Our keynote address about cardiodiabesity – a hybrid term that describes the relationship between obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease – and its treatment options, such as popular GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic, has garnered a lot of interest. We will also have partners on location and available virtually to directly answer questions related to cardiodiabesity care options and other programs and coverage from the Foreign Service Benefit Plan and our Ancillary Insurance Programs. If you were not able to register prior to registration closing, we will be posting a recording of the event on our YouTube channel @afspacares.

From the CEO – February 2025
February has arrived, bringing with it American Heart Month—a time to raise awareness about heart disease and its impact on our lives. Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is often preventable through healthy lifestyle choices and regular medical check-ups. As we celebrate love and kindness this month, let’s not forget to love and care for ourselves by making efforts to live healthier lives in order to feel better.

Special Message From the CEO: Updates and Reminders for AFSPA Members
We have begun receiving a number of questions from our members about how changes within the Federal government may affect programs and benefits offered by AFSPA. This message will provide answers to some of those questions and concerns as well as additional information that may be useful to you. The information is current as of the date and time it is posted.
