There are many different paths to 100 points.
HR recommends you start by scheduling these three appointments:
- Dental exam and cleaning (10 points)
- Annual physical/preventative exam from your physician (20 points)
- 403(b) financial planning session (10 points)
Get these appointments on the books in the spring, and you've begun the journey to wellness.
Next, complete the
online health assessment anytime. After completing the health assessment, you can schedule a biometric screening at the St. Vincent's Health Fair in the fall for another 35 points. Get a flu shot for 10 more points.
Between three appointments in the spring and getting a couple of things done at the health fair, your point total will rocket up to 85. Not only will you be very close to earning $300, but you will also be more knowledgeable about your overall wellbeing.
Important dates to put on your calendar:
- March 26: Flash Challenge: The Nutrition Quiz
- April 2: Water Works Challenge (April 2 - 30)
- June 4: Healthy Brain Challenge (June 4 - July 2)
- July 30: Healthy Lunchbox Challenge (July 30 - August 27)
- Oct. 22 - 25: St. Vincent's Health Fair

- Online workshops are worth up to another 45 points
- Approved list of local activities each worth 15 points
