Huntington Hospital – Where Wellness Works continues to promote good health for both our employees and their eligible dependents through our Wellness Programs.
- Currently, we offer Smoking Cessation classes, Weight Watchers At Work, Disease Management and Telephonic Coaching, discounts on Fitness Center Memberships, Dietary Counseling, and more.
- For the first time, you will have an opportunity to earn incentives just by taking the CONFIDENTIAL Health Risk Assessment (HRA) online.
- You may take the HRA at any time that it is convenient for you between October 20, 2008 and February 28, 2009. Completing your HRA may be part of your Annual Wellness Exam or be done separately.
- The HRA is a series of questions that will take between 20 - 30 minutes to complete. You will get the most accurate results if you have your most recent “numbers” to enter - height, weight, waist size, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.
- Once completed, you will get instant feedback on modifiable health risks and personal lesson plans to better understand these risks. Additionally, an online tool will be available to assist in developing and tracking personal fitness, nutrition and lifestyle programs for you and your eligible dependents. More information on this exciting online wellness tool will be available at our Annual Benefits Fair – “Election 2009” – Tuesday, October 28, 2008, in the Braun Auditorium from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- The information gathered in your HRA is completely CONFIDENTAL and will not be provided to Huntington Hospital. The composite data will be shared only in an aggregate, summary report which will illustrate the overall health of the organization and assist in developing additional Wellness and Disease Management programs that will meet your needs and those of your eligible dependents.
- Complete your HRA by February 28, 2009 and you will receive $25 on your first paycheck in April, 2009.
- Have your Spouse or Domestic Partner complete their HRA by February 28, 2009 and you will receive additional $10 on your first paycheck in April. This incentive does not apply to dependent children.

More information will be provided. Remember, testing done by the Huntington Hospital Lab is paid at 100% provided you are insured by the Huntington Choice Plan. |
