You are the College's most valuable asset. That is why we sponsor a wellness
program designed to help you and your family achieve and maintain good
health. Your good health contributes to the quality of your work, and
it can keep medical care costs down for both you and the College.
Our wellness program is made up of several elements:
|
| |
|
| • |
Awareness - It is important to become aware of your
state of health. The Wellness Program may sponsor health screenings in your
region which include certain medical tests. The Wellness Program also provides
health risk appraisals; based on your individual responses, you will receive
feedback about potential health concerns. You will be charged a nominal
fee for the screening. Your dependents are also welcome to participate for
the same fee. |
| |
|
| • |
Education - The program provides periodic health and
fitness information. It is important to learn what you can do to improve
your lifestyle and health. But it is also important to learn how to make
wise health care decisions-such as when to go to the doctor or how to self-treat
an injury. Education can play a large role in improving your well-being. |
| |
|
| • |
Action - once you are aware of your health goals and how to achieve
them, the program will help motivate you and support you in reaching them.
Regions may inform employees of local exercise programs or sponsor health
fairs. Sometimes, employees join together and begin an exercise group.
Each region may have different special programs of particular interest
to local employees.
In summary, the College-sponsored Wellness Program provides you with
the following items:
|
| |
|
| |
| • |
An annual health status assessment with suggestions
for health improvement, and |
| |
|
| • |
Periodic special regional activities targeting different
health care topics. |
