How the UA Wellness Program can help you with your health and fitness goals
A new year is another chance to set some goals to become healthier and happier in 2020. Maybe you want to be more active. This could be the year you take on the Equinox marathon or the Anchorage Mayor's Marathon and Half Marathon. Maybe you want to incorporate more vegetables into your diet or reduce your soda intake.
What if you could get personalized support and an additional reward for making healthy choices? With the UA Wellness Plan, you can earn a health care contribution rebate up to $600 for completing healthy activities.
No matter your health or fitness goal, the UA Wellness Plan is here to help. Victoria Carver, the wellness plan’s program manager and coach, offers health education classes online and in Fairbanks. She also offers personalized health and wellness coaching. She has coached and guided patients recovering from major surgery, beginner runners working toward their first 5k, and even experienced athletes wanting to improve their performance. To make an appointment with Carver, log into your Prevention Cloud online account.
“When I started my own fitness journey, I was 40 pounds overweight and avoided exercise,” said Carver. “I know the struggles and frustrations that can come with these types of lifestyle changes as well as the joy and the victory that comes once those changes are made. I am excited to share that with others while also providing them with the tools they need to be successful.”
