Action Pack available for Healthy Purdue 2008

The Action Pack for Healthy Purdue 2008 is now available online. Employees also can expect to receive a hard copy of the Action Pack during December.

The pack will be on the Healthy Purdue Web site, www.purdue.edu/healthypurdue.

The Action Pack contains information on how to get involved in Healthy Purdue 2008, with details on deadlines, wellness screenings and apple requirements.

Healthy Purdue 2008 will begin on Jan. 2, when the HealthPath Questionnaire becomes available again.

Tracking apples
Employees who finished their five apples by Nov. 9 will qualify for Healthy Purdue's Wellness Achievement Incentive, even if some of their apples have not yet shown up in the tracking system.

The tracking system is continuing to process employees' apples. Participants who completed their activities will receive the $250 (before taxes) incentive. The exact date for payment has not been determined, but payment will be made in early 2008.

To check the status of their apples, employees can access the wellness criteria tracking system by visiting www.purdue.edu/worklife and clicking "Register Now."
