Step 1: Complete your Personal Health Assessment (PHA). Start by creating your Cerner Health Account, or log into your existing account by visiting https://www.healthyforlife.umsystem.edu. You’ll be able to complete your Personal Health Assessment and learn more about your health risks.

Taking Care of YOU: Body • Mind • Spirit
Good intentions to take care of yourself can be pushed out of reach by the demands on your time and attention. You may overextend yourself trying to meet the needs of others, face daily responsibilities or live up to expectations. These demands can lead to feeling stressed or burned out. Life is full of choices—and those choices affect the body, mind and spirit. Taking Care of YOU is designed to help you deal with life's stress, make wise choices and explore ways to live a healthier life. Taking Care of YOU is an eight-week program that offers practical strategies to help deal with the stress in your life. Managing life's challenges in healthy ways allows you to take better care of yourself and your overall health. Each week you will explore topics through small group discussion, self-reflection and activities.
