All benefits and eligibility requirements are subject to the terms of the Summar y Plan Description. "Becoming pregnant with our first child was such an exciting time. We signed up for the Well-Baby Program, and our support material arrived within a few weeks. My nurse, Patty, was a joy to talk to, and she continued following our family's journey while my son was in the hospital, since he arrived early. Patty made sure I knew about all the available resources postpartum, and she was available to answer our questions. We appreciated the extra support and encourage CTA members to participate in this very helpful program."
