Flu Shots and Health Screenings<\/strong>
\nThe University of Missouri Total Rewards invites you to join Healthy for Life, an incentive-based wellness program designed to help you actively manage your health. By completing a personal health assessment and health screening, primary subscribers to the UM Health Care plan will receive $100 in a tax-favored account to use for medical expenses in 2012 Benefit Plan year.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019re partnering with Cerner Health to provide straightforward tools to help you work toward better health. You can participate in the program now. It\u2019s simple. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n
