September 11, 2026 by Deidre Mings

Complete at least two activities to earn the full discount

Educational questionnaire (video), flu vaccination, biometric screening

To educate employees about health benefits resources, support proactive health management and reduce the impact of influenza on our workforce, full-time employees enrolled in the Health Plan will qualify for the full 2027 wellness incentive by completing any two of these activities by Dec. 1, 2026:

  • Watch/complete an educational wellness video/questionnaire through My Learning Connection (Nov. 1-Dec. 1, 2026)
