Well Wisconsin Program: 2020 Health Risks for UW System
June 25, 2021

In 2020, 32% of UW System employees eligible for the Well Wisconsin Program completed a health assessment, health check and well-being activity to earn their $150 incentive. This amounts to over 10,700 employees that took positive steps to become more aware of their health. In 2020, the UW System had the highest program participation compared to all other State agencies.

Based on those that completed this program in 2020, the health risk report identified weight, its biological consequences (high cholesterol and blood pressure) and stress as the primary risks for UW System employees. The health risk report provides aggregate data to allow WebMD/StayWell to further develop the well-being activities for future program years.

Earn your 2021 $150 incentive by completing the health assessment, a health check and one well-being activity by October 8, 2021. Check out the well-being activity options on the WebMD website or through the Wellness At Your Side mobile app (code: SOWI).
