Notice Regarding Wellness Program
Healthy OHIO is Ohio University's employee well-being initiative managed by WellWorks.
The initiative is intended to give employees and their spouses/partners customizable tools and resources for a variety of well-being goals. While some programs are exclusive to individuals on the University's medical plan ("benefits-participating"), other programs are available to those eligible for benefits ("benefits-eligible") and still others are available to everyone.
Healthy OHIO hosts a variety of educational and programmatic opportunities including:
The University's mobile well-being platform for employees and their spouses/partners is Personify Health (formerly called Virgin Pulse). Available as both a web-based platform and an app, Personify takes a holistic approach to well-being by exploring diverse topics and programming modalities, making it customized to each user.
Everyone's experience on Personify will be different as it is uniquely tailored to your interests, health data, survey responses and more.
All eligible participants are encouraged to conduct an annual health screening so they stay on track with their well-being goals. Eligible Participants will receive $60 added to the paycheck of the benefits-carrier. To participate, enrollment on Personify is required for spouses/partners and highly encouraged for employees.
Multiple screening options are available to fit a variety of unique scheduling needs: Physician Screening Forms and on-campus events.
Eligible WellWorks members who check-in 100 Days within the University's fiscal year can earn $100 off their next annual WellWorks membership*. Available to benefits-eligible employees and their spouses/partners. *Taxed as income
The Risk Reduction Program in its current form is being discontinued. The University is currently evaluating how to reshape the program to reach and support more faculty and staff going forward, with a goal of relaunching in the next academic year or two.
