AEP retirees sought for ‘wellness journey’ stories

AEP cares about the safety, health and well-being of its retirees. Retirees are invited to share their “wellness journeys” — changes they have made, or are currently making, to live full, healthy lives.

Your story could be about weight loss, overcoming an illness or condition, maintaining good health habits, taking on a health or fitness challenge, achieving a personal health milestone, doing wellness-related community or volunteer work, or other related topic. Stories will be posted (with the submitter’s approval of final content) on this website as well as on AEP’s internal corporate website for employees.

We suggest that your story, in your own words, may include:

• A few words about yourself, your AEP career,  and what you are doing in retirement.
• In what ways did health and well-being play a role during your working years to enhance your quality of life in your retirement years?
• What brought you to your decision to make a change – what was happening in your life leading up to the change.
• What the crucial “turning point” was, and how it came about.
• Some significant changes you have made in your lifestyle since then.
• What you are doing to maintain and stay on track.
• What you are doing to “pay it forward” by encouraging or helping others.

Please submit a recent digital photo of yourself along with your story, to kmdrenten@aep.com.
