• Health Check Activity:
  • Biometric screening – Provides a picture of overall health (includes measurements for blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, triglycerides & glucose) or
  • Dental exam – Provides a picture of overall dental health (by getting a preventive dental exam) or
  • One coaching session – Provides an opportunity for you to work with a WebMD Health Coach to help you work toward your goals!
• Well-being Activity pdf : Helps with overall health and well-being (examples: Five Fruits & Vegetables to Thrive Challenge, Move for a Million Steps Challenge, Well Wisconsin Radio).
