Wellness Programs
The UA Wellness Program provides a variety of wellness activities. Employees may participate in on-site health and wellness activities through the new UA Health in Action program or complete a confidential health risk assessment (Personal Wellness Profile) that identifies their particular health concerns.
UA Health in Action
The UA Health In Action program is a partnership between the university and Wellness Initiatives Network for Alaska, Inc. (WIN for Alaska). WIN for Alaska provides online services and onsite events on Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Juneau campuses and semiannual activities at locations with 20 or more employees. Activities include Wellness Breaks, health seminars and fitness events, blood cholesterol and glucose screenings, body fat analysis, blood pressures, chair massages, individual health coaching, and online health tracking. All activities are available to staff and faculty for no out-of-pocket cost.
Check out the WIN for Alaska UA Health In Action website for details on all programs. Much of the program communication is by email. Please add customerservice@winforalaska.com to your email address book to ensure you receive program email messages.
Health Risk Assessment
All UA staff, faculty, and spouse/FIP’s currently enrolled in the university’s health plan are eligible to take the 2009 Personal Wellness Profile (Health Risk Assessment) beginning April 1 and will receive a $100 reimbursement by mail in June or July 2009. The Personal Wellness Profile (PWP) is an online confidential survey that identifies particular health concerns. In April 2009, WIN for Alaska will administer the PWP. Unlike past years, staff, faculty, and spouse/FIP’s will not be contacted by anyone regarding any of their confidential answers. The WIN for Alaska PWP is completely confidential.
