Physical Well-being
Physical well-being is caring for your body to stay healthy now and in the future including making intentional choices around topics such as nutrition, physical activity, self-care habits, preventive care, sleep, safety and alcohol/drug use.
Wellness Program Option
Engage in your Wellness Program option. Employees elect a free Wellness Program option each year during Open Enrollment, even if you waive medical coverage. The three Wellness Program options include:
Health Coaching
Connect with a Health Coach to help you achieve your personal health and wellness goals. Coaches have expertise in nutrition, exercise, tobacco cessation, stress management and general health, so whether you're looking to lose weight, lower your blood pressure, get a better handle on stress, or change up your exercise routine, a health coach can help! A Health Coach is not a physician and does not offer medical advice, but will work with you on setting and working towards your goals—at no cost to you!
Health Coaching is offered through Cigna; you must be enrolled in a medical plan through Dartmouth to be eligible.
Preventive Care
Preventive care includes regular check-ups with your primary care provider (PCP), screenings and immunizations. Your PCP will recommend that you have specific tests or vaccines based on your age, lifestyle habits, family history, gender, and health. Take the first step and have a conversation with your PCP to confirm you’re up to date on your screenings.
Omada
This digital lifestyle change program can help you lose weight, feel fantastic, and develop long-term healthy habits.
If you or your adult family members (18+) are at risk for type 2 diabetes or heart disease, and are enrolled in a Dartmouth medical plan, you may be eligible for this free program.
Take a 1-minute health questionnaire to see if you're eligible at omadahealth.com/dartmouth
Health Stations
