WELLNESS

The University is committed to investing in the well being of employees, retirees, and their spouse or domestic partner. In 2008, the University launched UC Living Well, a voluntary, confidential health management program for employees, retirees, and their family members age 18 and older enrolled in all medical plans except Kaiser. Kaiser currently provides fully integrated wellness resources to its members.

StayWell Health Management, a leading provider of health promotion programs and services, administers the program. The program will include:

• A Health Assessment to be taken online or via a paper version. The Health Assessment measures your lifestyle habits and provide immediate personalized feedback to improve or maintain your health. Additional information and resources are also available to help you make lifestyle choices that will enhance your quality of life.
• A $100 gift certificate for employees who complete the Health Assessment. Adult family members who complete the Health Assessment receive $50 gift cards.
• Personalized health improvement programs with a Wellness Coach via the telephone, internet or mail.
• Access to additional wellness tools online. These resources may help you create positive lifestyle changes that will improve your health and well-being.

The program is completely voluntary and is available at no cost to you.

Plan changes for 2012

• Participants must complete the health assessment by June 15, 2012 and a follow-up program by December 15, 2012 to earn the incentive award.
