\n\tHealth Screenings have started—schedule yours today!<\/u>
\n\tIn 2014 active UM medical plan subscribers can earn your $100 Wellness Incentive in your final May paycheck by completing two simple steps: an online personal health assessment and health screening. Attached is a list of all the upcoming events, along with a User Guide to assist you with the process. If you have questions, please email <\/span>wellness@umsystem.edu<\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tAre you Computing “Healthy”?<\/u>
\n\tDo you experience back pain, wrist cramps, or headaches from working at your computer all day? If so, a Workstation Analysis, performed by the Adaptive Computing Technology (ACT) Center, may help alleviate some discomfort and prevent long-term injury.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPeople are all shapes and sizes; therefore, not every workstation can consist of the same set-up and computing tools while providing the same level of comfort and productivity. An ACT Center staff member is able to evaluate your personal workstation, at no cost, as well as provide suggestion on how to reduce strain in areas that may be causing pain. They can also provide suggestions for alternative computing tools to make you feel more comfortable throughout your day. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ACT Center believes that a Workstation Analysis can be beneficial in many ways:<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t·         Increase productivity\n<\/p>\n

\n\t·         Boost morale\n<\/p>\n

\n\t·         Reduce injury\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHealthy computing starts with the proper posture and tools needed to make computing comfortable and productive.  Visit <\/span>http:\/\/actcenter.missouri.edu\/services\/workstation-analysis.html<\/a> or contact the ACT Center at (573) 884-2600 to schedule an appointment.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t

\n\tTaking Care of YOU: Body • Mind • Spirit<\/u>
\n\tGood 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.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen:<\/strong> Tuesdays, March 6 – May 1 (no class on March 27, spring break) 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
