Over 20 years of confidence with Priority Health: Karen Kuiper shares her story

For more than 20 years, Karen Kuiper has relied on Priority Health to support her through every chapter, whether she’s traveling abroad, golfing with her husband, or enjoying the comforts of home in West Michigan. After more than 40 years in the region, she’s built a life full of warmth, creativity, and community.

For Karen and her husband, cruising transcends vacation. In fact, it's been recognized as their “thing.” What started as a one-time experience quickly turned into something they truly love, especially the chance to travel with family and spend meaningful time together. Whether they’re exploring a new port or relaxing somewhere warm, those trips have become a special part of how they stay connected and make memories. Having health coverage they trust gives Karen added confidence along the way. She knows that if something unexpected comes up, she has the support she needs to enjoy herself without overthinking the “what ifs.”

Active days and simple joys back home  

When they’re not exploring far‑off places, Karen and her husband stay active closer to home. They love to golf together, and Karen “dabbles in pickleball,” enjoying the fun, social energy of the game. She also stays connected to her community by attending her local church bringing her a sense of belonging.  

Creativity, crafting, and a home filled with heart  

Karen’s friends lovingly describe her as their own “Martha Stewart,” and the photos from her spotlight capture why. You’ll see her carefully filling a bird feeder in the snow, an image that perfectly reflects her thoughtful, home‑centered style. You’ll also catch a glimpse of her at her kitchen table, working on a creative sign, or relaxing with a puzzle on a quiet afternoon. These moments show the everyday artistry she brings to life.  Hosting, crafting, making things feel special are the qualities that make Karen, Karen.

The member who helps others feel confident, too  

Karen doesn’t just appreciate her health plan; she actively shares it with the people she cares about. Her go‑to is using Priority Health's cost calculating tool. She uses it to see costs for herself, her family and even her in‑laws. And as someone who values a great experience, she speaks highly about the digital tools she relies on. "The Priority Health website is one of my favorites," she says. "It’s so user-friendly.” She also appreciates the follow‑through from Customer Service that gives her confidence. “They actually call me back! It’s refreshing to have someone do what they say they will.”
