This workshop will benefit you if you...

Benefit eligible MU employees, retirees and family members are encouraged to attend and will be eligible for an incentive for participating in a health assessment. You will be asked to do a survey and health assessment at the beginning of the workshop, a survey at the end of the workshop and another survey and health assessment 6 months later. The initial screening will count towards the HFL wellness program if you haven't already completed one.
