I used HEALTHeACCESS in Hobart for the first time in October. I was thoroughly surprised. I spent less than 5 minutes in the lobby before being called into a patient room. Billie was my provider during this visit. She was extremely detailed and patient. The staff were helpful as well. If there is a need for another medical visit, I will return to HEALTHeACCESS! TradeWinds, this is a wonderful benefit for employees!

I’ve had the opportunity to visit the HEALTHeACCESS Clinic (Munster location) twice and I was truly impressed and blessed. For both visits, my doctor was Mary D Fugett. I scheduled appointments and was seen within 5-15 minutes of my scheduled time.
The front desk receptionist/nurse and Dr. Fugett were very friendly. Dr. Fugett spent more time with me in the patient room than my regular doctor has (and I like my regular doctor).
The free medications and savings were awesome. For my second visit, I normally would have gone to Urgent Care and paid a $50 – $75 copay. But with HEALTHeACCESS, everything was free.
Thank you, TradeWinds Services, for providing this service for your employees. I give this program five stars and would highly recommend it to my coworkers.
Warmly,
Annette Walker
I was seen the same day with very little wait time in the lobby.
The provider, Billie and nurse were patient and understanding. The staff were polite.
Thank you, TradeWinds and HEALTHeACCESS

Yoga with Desi has been an amazing blessing!
I spend too many hours in a vehicle driving, commuting as an employee and as a parent! Desi met me where I was at and taught me about YOGA. My first session was at a Working Well Yoga class offered through my employer. I was always so intimidated to do YOGA at the local gym, as I knew my flexibility was limited.
Desi started the class asking about our experience in Yoga; and, if we had a targeted body area that needed some stretching. We tried new poses, modified versions, and poses that were more challenging. She is so inviting in the way that she teaches. There is not a feeling of competition- rather a sense of personal accomplishment and gain. I have become much more flexible, stronger, and braver to attempt things I may not have done decades earlier, like a handstand!
Desi is compassionate and dedicated to YOGA as well as one’s well-being. She is a complete health practitioner, and she wants the best for you. YOGA was so impactful to me that I invited my children to try it and my son could not believe how much his flexibility improved. On a greater level, I really owe her a huge amount of gratitude, as YOGA is what started my consistent pattern of weekly exercise. Yoga was something I looked forward to going to every week. I was exercising, I was relaxing my mind and I wanted so much more. I added weightlifting and more Yoga classes. Her teaching and her desire to help you get started and improve is just Desi. Do not delay your own health journey; Desi will help you get started!

I am very new to yoga. Desi is my only instructor. I look forward to every session she has scheduled. I love that she is able to hold one class but teach many different levels at the same time. I am told by my co-workers and fellow yogis that this is an impressive challenge for an instructor. I find that even though we just have Desi’s class once a week, it’s still very beneficial to me. I find that I have more energy, and recently I am not even getting as sore (believe it or not!!) I am more flexible, which is shocking because I’ve never been flexible in my life. I am excited when I recognize the terms of the different poses Desi has us try. I feel like a real yogi now because of Desi. I recently discovered that I love the guided meditation classes that Desi teaches. I was amazed that 35 minutes’ worth of her class felt like a true refreshing nap. I am so grateful that the Lake County Government has allowed us to continue with our lunchtime yoga and has extended it to once a week. Sometimes my co-workers are not available to attend yoga class, but I still come by myself because I know I will feel better afterwards. My office personnel encourages new employees to join the classes. Recently I have noticed our class has grown a lot, which is good. There were times when there were just two of us that showed up, but Desi held regular class anyway because she is a true professional that is great at her job. I am honored to be learning from her. Thank you for allowing us to share Desi with you!!

When I first became pregnant, I learned that prenatal yoga was a good way to get exercise during pregnancy. I had no prior experience with yoga, but I am so glad I gave it a try. Desi cultivates a warm and open environment where I felt comfortable no matter what my experience level was. The physical aspects of yoga were easy to learn, and Desi leads sessions based on what you need most at the time of each class, giving it a personalized feel. Previously, I have never felt comfortable meditating, but even this was made to feel easy and accessible and really helped me feel safe mentally. Prenatal yoga prepared my body for birth and helped combat back pain, as well as made me more mindful and feel less anxious. After my daughter was born, I went back to doing yoga as soon as I was cleared to do so. Desi has been so accommodating and patient with Mommy and Me yoga where i can bring my baby with me. It has really been a light in my life during all the ups and downs of parenthood. I would recommend Prenatal yoga and Mommy and Me yoga to anyone who is pregnant or who has children. Desi is an amazing instructor and will make a difference in the lives of your whole family!

I appreciate the ability to receive individualized yoga instruction from Desi. Regular practice has improved my mobility, balance, and mental health immensely.

After each class I feel better and more energized. Desiree Brummett is very patient, kind, and helpful. I look forward to every class and practice some of the breathing techniques she has taught me on a regular basis.
