(Cover Your Abilities)

Are you sufficiently protecting your
talents, skills and capabilities?
Look beyond your patients care and you’ll see the
impact of an illness or injury on a family, both
emotionally and financially. You have the choice to
make the decision to protect yourself and or your
loved ones from the devastating impact of an accident
or illness.
We take our talents and abilities for granted just like
breathing air. Well, whether we like it or not, sustain-
ing an accident or illness is always a very real possibili-
ty that could affect our ability to live, work and play.
Most people do not insure what is probably their most
valuable asset - their ability to work and earn income.
