A new study in Cell reports that shingles vaccination is associated with a lower risk of mild cognitive impairment and fewer dementia-related deaths. The findings also suggest possible benefits for people already showing signs of dementia, pointing to a broader role for vaccination in supporting healthy cognitive aging.

This emerging evidence reinforces how preventive care can influence long-term brain health — an area of growing importance for employers and the workforce.

This week we capped off 2025 with our final Board meeting, complete with a festive toast to another year of impact, collaboration, and momentum.

Check out our webinar from November, The Silent Crisis: Rethinking Men’s Health at Work

Men are less likely to seek preventive care or undergo cancer screenings—putting them at higher risk for serious illness and premature death. These gaps have implications for employers, driving higher healthcare costs, absenteeism, and avoidable claims.

Join the NEBGH/MSK Direct fireside chat with Dr. Robert Sidlow from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) for a practical discussion on men’s health and cancer screening. Learn what’s driving these disparities, the latest in cancer screening for men, and how employers can take action to support early detection and better outcomes.
