State System management and union representatives encourage you to review all of the information carefully and are hopeful that this innovative wellness program will assist you and your fellow co-workers in continuing your journey to a healthier you!

Healthy U
Healthy U is the State System's workplace wellness program for faculty, non-faculty coaches, police and security personnel, nurses, and nonrepresented employees. It is a customized plan for employees and their enrolled spouses/domestic partners.  The program offers voluntary tools and resources that can be explored and used at any time. 

In order to successfully complete the Healthy U program, employees and their enrolled spouse must each complete the Health Assessment  by the program deadline.

Healthy U is available to nonrepresented employees, faculty, non-faculty coaches, police and security personnel, and nurses and their spouses who are enrolled in the State System of Higher Education Group Health Program’s PPO health plan.
Participation in Healthy U will entitle the employee to pay the lowest health plan contribution rates.  This is an obviously considerable financial incentive for employees and spouses to participate in Healthy U.  However, we believe that employees will also be interested in participation in order to become more involved in improving their own health or maintaining their current good health into the future.
Rewards
Participation in Healthy U by both the employee and their enrolled spouse, if applicable, will entitle the employee to pay the lowest health plan contribution rates.  If either the employee or the enrolled spouse does not meet the participation requirements, the employee will not be eligible for the lowest health plan contribution rates.
