What’s in it for me?

You will be able to get your Be Healthy Basics completed (free of charge). Your Be Healthy Basics includes blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol/lipids, and abdominal circumference. A counselor at the health fair explains each of your individual measures, tells you what they mean for your health, and provides information on how to improve your measures if they are not within recommended ranges. During the health fair, you will also learn about Be Healthy programs that can help you better manage any health conditions.

For those enrolled in the medical plan , you can also earn up to $20 per paycheck in Wellness Credits for all of 2018 by completing your Be Healthy Basics by Sept. 30, 2017. Wellness Credits are added to your paycheck to help offset the cost of your medical premiums.
