Biometric Screening Deadline Nears
|
Those staff members or dependents on NJSD insurance who have signed up for a biometric screening through the District may still have it completed with their health care provider, but need to do so by Feb. 14 to keep their insurance rates lower.
Those going to their own provider need to bring a Biometric Screening Form and Healthcare Provider Verification Form. The forms are available by clicking here.
For those with appointments scheduled through the District, a reminder that appointments can only be scheduled or changed through the Veribook link. Prevea's Onsite Clinic, the Wellness Center and the Wellness Coordinator/HR cannot reschedule an appointment.

Random Acts of Wellness Program Runs Feb. 14-21
|
Random acts of wellness are always their own reward—embodying healthy behavior can help you live a happier, comfortable, more fulfilling life, after all.
A random act of wellness is an action that exemplifies the importance of embracing a culture of health. Things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, taking a moment to meditate, hosting a healthy potluck or encouraging a coworker to walk with you all qualify as random acts of wellness.
Feel free to submit on behalf of yourself or your colleagues between Feb. 14-21. Both those nominating and being nominated will be entered in a drawing to win a Wellness Wednesday T-shirt!
