Take the next step to better heath with your Be in the Know online health assessment.

How healthy are you? If you completed Step 1 of Be in the Know last fall, you got a glimpse of your general health by learning your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose. Now it’s time to learn even more with your online health assessment.

Completing the online health assessment at http://penn.staywell.com is Step 2 of the Be in the Know wellness campaign and it’s a key part of understanding more about your current health and what you can do to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Answer questions about your exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress and other health habits. In return you’ll receive a personalized report on your current health status, possible health risks and recommendations for maintaining or improving your overall health. The health assessment takes only 10 minutes to complete and your information is confidential. And when you’re done, you are eligible for the $100 cash incentive, which will appear in your April paycheck (less applicable payroll tax).

The health assessment can help you make the most of the programs and resources on Penn’s wellness portal, hosted by Staywell at http://penn.staywell.com With your personalized report in hand, you’ll be able to progress to Step 3 of Be in the Know and use what you know to make the changes most important to you, such as quitting tobacco, staying active or reducing stress. Use the programs, tools and even one-on-one counseling on the portal to support you as you go. In the process, you can earn an additional $35 cash incentive by completing qualifying bonus actions.

If you weren’t able to attend one of the biometric screening events in the fall, you can still participate in Be in the Know. Simply download and complete the Health Screenings Documentation Form from https://www.hr.upenn.edu/beintheknow then submit it, along with the results from your physician, by January 31, 2015.
