Western Health Advantage is proud to raise awareness about Nation of Lifesavers and the importance of learning CPR. WHA President and CEO Dr. Khuram Arif recently spoke with KTXL Fox40 News about how having just one person in your home who knows CPR means "you have a lifesaver right in your house."

Early detection matters. When caught early, colorectal cancer has a 91% survival rate. Yet, in the U.S., 1 in 3 people who should get tested for colorectal cancer have never been screened.
If you’re 45 or older (or younger based on your medical history), it’s time to talk with your doctor about screening options. There are several ways to get screened, and your provider can help you choose what’s right for you.
Taking care of your health could also pay off! With WHA, you may qualify for a $50 incentive for completing your screening. Learn more >> mywha.org/incentives
Your health is worth it.

What does it mean to show up for Pride?

For us, it means more than waving a flag.

At Western Health Advantage, we’re proud to sponsor the Sacramento LGBT Community Center and the Sacramento Pride Festival because we believe access to care, housing, and mental health support is a human right—not something people should have to fight for.

We’ll be at the Pride March on June 15, and at our booth all weekend on Capitol Mall. But what matters most is that we’re here long after the festival ends—standing alongside our LGBTQ+ members and community partners.

Because dignity in healthcare isn’t negotiable.

We’ve spent years telling men to “just go to the doctor.”
But when care feels rushed, dismissive, or judgmental, showing up can feel like the hardest part.
This Men’s Health Month, the real question isn’t “Why aren’t men going to the doctor?”
It’s: “What are we doing to make healthcare worth showing up for?”
At Western Health Advantage, we offer behavioral health support, virtual visits, and affirming primary care that meets men where they are—with care that listens first.
Because health isn’t about checking a box.
It’s about earning trust.

Did You Know?

Memorial Day began in the 1860s, after the Civil War, when families across the country gathered to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. It was called Decoration Day—an act of honor and remembrance, rooted in love, not long weekends.

More than 150 years later, that tradition continues. Since 1775, over 1.3 million U.S. service members have given their lives in defense of their country. Behind every name is a story. A family. A future given in service to something greater.

This Memorial Day, we remember not just the history of this tradition—but the humanity behind the holiday.

Remembrance is an act of honor that carries the legacy of our fallen service members forward.

In observation of Memorial Day, our offices are closed Monday, May 26th. Regular business hours resume Tuesday, May 27th.
