Yes.  Due to the “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” (HIPAA), Kettering Health Network (who we use for screenings) is legally bound to confidentiality with any personal information obtained from any screening.  Additionally, the City is not seeking information regarding individual health levels but rather aggregate information representing the overall workforce.

No. One of the greatest things about the Employee Wellness Program is that it is not all or nothing. Eligible employees may participate in any or all components. The program is designed to improve overall employee health, physical condition and mental wellness through education, screening, and outreach.
However, in order to receive (or renew) a free fitness pass, you must complete both the Health Screening and Health Risk Assessment process.
At the beginning of each Wellness Year (November), employees may participate in a free Health Screening (Finger Stick Lipid Panel Test, Blood Pressure and Body Mass Index Screenings) and an online Health Risk Assessment. Employees who participate in the screening and assessment will receive a free annual fitness pass to the Kettering Recreation Complex and the Kettering Fitness & Wellness Center.
Participants must earn 5,000 Activity Minutes and 80 Non-Activity Points during the course of the Wellness Year (November 1 – October 31). Gather more information on the Program Incentive here.

Participants will use Wellvibe to track and submit Activity Minutes and Non-Activity Points. Employees should follow the Wellvibe Instruction Sheet to create an account. Wellvibe is fully accessible from a computer, tablet, and/or mobile device. To access from a computer, go to www.wellvibelogin.com.
