This fall, Penn wants to reward you for being “in the know” about your health. Invest just 20 minutes of your time, and you’ll earn a cash award as well as the chance to win an iPad!
Starting October 15, HR is expanding our health promotion activities to introduce the “Be in the Know” campaign. This new wellness program will help you learn your key health biometrics—blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar—through free, convenient screening sessions to be held at more than 15 locations on campus over a four-week period.
Knowing your numbers will help you establish a health “starting point” and give you ideas on how to maintain or improve your health status.
What’s more, you’ll receive a $75 cash award (less applicable taxes) for participating and be entered into a raffle to win one of two iPads.
Your privacy is a priority—Penn will never receive your personal health information. All of your screening information will be held securely and confidentially by AreUFit, an outside agency specializing in worksite screenings. AreUFit technicians will perform the screenings and their health educators will help you interpret the results right on the spot. You can also submit test results from screenings done by your physician between April 1 through November 8 and still qualify for the program award.
The deadline for participating in an on-campus health screening is November 8. For complete details, including instructions on how to register for a screening, visit the Human Resources website at www.hr.upenn.edu/quality/wellness/beintheknow.aspx
