Norfolk Naval Shipyard held its first Health and Wellness Fair since COVID on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2025, and had more than 500 attendees.
Personnel were able to meet with plan advisors and gather information on health, dental, and vision plans. They were able to determine which plan would best meet their individual or family needs. Many employees learned that they did not need the high-cost coverage and were able to save money.
“The greatest benefit for the employees in attending the health fair was to get the information from the vendors directly,” said NNSY Administrative Management Specialist Supervisor Melanie Prescott. “Throughout the year, the employees are directed to OPM.gov [Office of Personnel Management website] to gain the knowledge needed before making one of the biggest decisions on their health care.”
Prescott continued, “the face-to-face conversations with the insurance representatives helped them get the facts and make their decisions easier.”
As NNSY’s first Health and Wellness Fair in several years, the event was very successful and a great opportunity for NNSY personnel to attain helpful information in advance of the 2025 Federal Employees Health Benefits Open Season ongoing now through Dec 8, 2025.
