The Dearborn Schools Employee Healthcare Program (DSEHP) is only possible if our Unions maintain a strong membership in good standing and negotiations with the district continue to be interest-based so that all involved have the best interests of DPS employees and their families as the top priority. A decrease in Union membership could put the DSEHP in danger of dissolving.

The Wellness Committee is a voluntary subcommittee of the DSEHP VEBA formed to help provide information, services, and resources to members related to physical, financial, social/emotional, community, and career wellness.

The Charter Committees are made up of union members, in good standing, that work as ambassadors of the program. They are voluntary positions that work to share information regarding the program to their Union co-workers. Also, if a change of plan is required, they would learn about the plan options and provide input.

Please contact your Union President with the committee you desire to serve.

By encouraging and supporting a healthy lifestyle for all Dearborn Public School employees, we can stabilize the cost of healthcare, improve our work environment, and make better the lives of our members and their families.
