Wellness Initiative Update
Our thanks to all that have participated in our first group of wellness screenings. We are pleased to share the fo llowings statistics from our wellness screenings:
 
  • 1,648 have registered in the CHC Wellness portal
  • 1,601 of you have registered for your screenings
  • 722 of you have completed your blood screening and health & lifestyle survey
 
We know this process may seem a little overwhelming, but please know, we value your well-being so much that we’ve made it a vital part of your comprehensive benefits. We hope to reach beyond wellness to bring you resources, tools, and personal support for  better health, a positive mindset, financial confidence, and meaningful relationships - aspects that make up the whole you and affect how well you live. All of it is meant to help you reach your true potential, no matter what your goals are. And, that helps us better serve our students, families, and community.
 
To ensure you have the best experience possible, we’ve partnered with  Northwestern Medicine and   CHC Wellbeing (CHCW) , a unique provider of in-depth personal well-being resources and a proven track record of helping participants get the results they seek.  And, they do it confidentially, too, so your privacy is assured .
