March Wellness Break:
Monday- March 25, 2019
NO SWEAT WORKOUT!
10 a.m.- Great Lakes Campus 101
12 p.m.- University Center 106
3 p.m.- Main Campus- Health Science 114
No Sweat Workout: Take a quick 15 minute break for a workout using gliding discs, bender balls & resistance bands to wake up your body’s metabolism, stimulate blood flow, and increase energy expenditure. According to Peter T. Katzmarzyk, Ph.D.: “Even within physically active individuals, there was a strong association between sitting and risk of mortality… This is an important observation because it suggests that high amounts of sitting cannot be compensated for with occasional leisure time physical activity even if the amount exceeds the current minimum physical activity recommendations.”
Mar 11, 2019 | HR Corner, Intercom
Deadline is May 31, 2019
Two easy steps:
1- Complete the online Health Assessment- The health assessment guides you through a series of questions to help discover why it is important to make healthy choices. The health assessment can be completed in as little as 10-12 minutes. After you complete the health assessment, you will be provided with a picture of your current health including any health risks.
2- Visit your doctor and have them complete the Qualification Form– The Physician Health Screening (Qualification Form) helps you establish a relationship with your primary care physician to identify health risks, and to use that information to improve your health. As part of your visit, your physician will complete the Qualification Form with you. You or your physician’s office may return the form for processing. However, it is your responsibility to ensure the form is returned on time.
Access the Qualification form here.
To access the information simply log into your BCBSM webpage- choose the Health and Wellness tab- WebMD- Take your Health Assessment. Additional information can be found under the Rewards Tab.

Kudos to Kristy Jackson, Jo Gallegos, Trisha Strahan and Leeland Nelson.

And a huge thank you to the Hagerty Center for being such excellent hosts!

If you receive medical benefits from Blue Cross under NMC’s plan you likely received a letter last week regarding the Physician Qualification Form. The letter has raised many questions and concerns. The HR department has contacted Blue Cross and they will prepare a communication to clarify the intention and specifics behind the letter sometime this week. HR will share the communication when available.
One note to share now is that you are not obligated to participate, nor will you have any changes to your coverage for not completing the Physician Qualification Form. This is intended to be a voluntary part of our Wellness program, and replace the packets you have received in the past.
Please stay tuned for more information and reach out to Hollie DeWalt in HR with any questions.
