One Month Left to Earn Your Wellbeing Incentive

The 2023-24 Wellbeing Program year ends on August 31, 2024. Make sure to earn 5,000 points (or 7,500 points, if your spouse is covered by your medical insurance) by August 31 for a discount on your 2025 University medical insurance rates.

If you added a spouse throughout the year, you need to earn 7,500 points by August 31. If you dropped a spouse on the medical plan, you only need 5,000 points.

Looking for ways to explore wellbeing resources and earn your incentive?

  • Check out the events calendar on the Wellbeing Program platform (under Social) for points-earning webinars
  • Track movement, mindfulness, or sleep (under Home > Stats)
  • Try a Health Coaching session (under Health)
  • Watch short videos on improving your posture, healthy sleep practices, and more on the Media tab (under Menu on the app)
  • Volunteer, read a book, or do something else that supports your wellbeing and add it as a Wellbeing My Way pledge (under Programs, search for Wellbeing My Way)

Email wellness@umn.edu with any questions.
