From the Health plan wellness incentive to the EAP, MSU offers resources that help you live not just longer, but better.

The World Economic Forum reminds us: to thrive in a 100-year life, we need more than financial literacy — we need longevity literacy.

That means building a sustainable life around three pillars:
✨ Quality of Life
✨ Purpose
✨ Financial Resilience

How MSU Supports Your Longevity Literacy

• 🏥 Strategies to Improve Your Healthspan
  • Preventive Care: Year-round biometric screenings and annual flu vaccinations — both included in this year’s wellness incentive — along with routine check-ups and services like the mammogram bus help detect risks early. MSU also partners with Mercy’s Care Management and Collaborative Care for holistic support.
  • Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Campus Recreation’s Outdoor Adventures, Employee Wellness classes (Tai Chi, yoga, Fab, Fit & Fun), and regular activity help boost long-term health.
  • Mental Wellbeing: On-site mental health services at Magers, integrated behavioral health through Mercy, and EAP to support resilience.
  • Financial Wellbeing: Tools like retirement planning, flex spending, and savings accounts help reduce stress and allow you to focus on wellness.
• 💬 Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  Free, confidential services are available 24/7/365 to employees and their household members. The EAP supports mental health, stress management, family challenges, and work-life balance — key for building both quality of life and purpose.
• 🌟 2026 Health Plan Discount- Wellness Incentive
  Complete at least two activities — the educational questionnaire (Nov. 1–Dec. 1), a flu vaccination (Aug. 1–Dec. 1), or a biometric screening (Jan. 1–Dec. 1) — to earn your health plan discount by Dec. 1.
