Take the Next Step to Be in the Know about Your Health |

February 11, 2014, Volume 60, No. 22 |
It’s time to be “in the know” about your health! Take the next—and final—step in this year’s Be in the Know wellness program so you can earn your reward.
There are two steps in this year’s Be in the Know program:
1) submit biometric screening results and
2) complete an online health assessment. Complete both steps by the program deadlines, and you’ll receive a cash incentive ($100 less applicable payroll taxes) in your last paycheck in April 2014.
Nearly 5,200 faculty and staff already completed step one last fall by attending on-campus biometric screening sessions or submitting results on their own. If you didn’t participate, it’s not too late—we’re giving you another chance. You can still submit your screening results to AreUFit by February 21, 2014 to finish step one. Please note: if you completed this step last fall, you do not need to resubmit your results.
Now it’s time to take the next step and complete an online health assessment by March 7, 2014. Visit Penn’s new wellness portal, managed by StayWell Health Management, at penn.staywell.com to take a quick, easy and confidential health assessment. The 10-minute questionnaire focuses on your overall health and health habits. It gives you an instant, personalized report on your health, insights into potential risks and ways to make positive changes.
Remember, you need to submit your biometric screening results by February 21, 2014 and complete the health assessment by March 7, 2014 to earn your $100 award (less applicable payroll taxes) in your last pay in April.
Don’t forget to explore the useful health tools and information available through the wellness portal, including tracking tools, calculators, videos and news articles.
Rest assured that your test results, health assessment and everything on the StayWell portal is maintained confidentially. Penn will never see your individual information.
Active, full- or part-time benefits-eligible faculty and staff can participate. For complete details, visit the Be in the Know webpage at www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/worklife/healthy/know If you have questions or would like more information, contact StayWell Health Management at 1 (855) 428-6324.
