Foreword 3 Dear Customer, Staying fit and healthy is something that is becoming of ever greater impor- tance, especially as we are living for longer now. We may, however, fall victim to fate, with accidents or illnesses throwing a spanner in the works of our future plans. At such times, it is all the more im- portant to deal with the situation as best as possible to enable us to return to home and go back to work. We at BVAEB would like to give you all the support you need to lead a healthy lifestyle, for you to stay healthy or to recover after whatever health issue may have affected you – after all, quality of life is nothing without your health. This brochure is intended to give you an insight into BVAEB’s comprehen- sive range of support in the areas of prevention, therapy and rehabilitation. Take care of your health, prevent illnesses before they occur, consult your doctor and regain a substantial part of your quality life through therapy or rehabilitation. With the very best wishes for your health Dr Gudrun Wolner-Strohmeyer BVAEB Chief Physician 4 Table of contents Application and cost contribution
