January is Health Risk Assessment Month

Take your Health Risk Assessment during the month of January

Completing the health risk assessment (HRA) is the first wellness activity of 2011. The HRA is an electronic form in which you provide information about your health history. The information you provide on the HRA is used to generate a health risk meter showing your health age and personal risk level for major preventable conditions.

Taking the HRA is simple and easy. If you have taken the HRA before, use the month of January to go in and update it by clicking here. If you are taking the HRA for the first time, go to the wellness website (www.emihealth.com/wellness) and follow the instructions under the Health Risk Assessment button.

By completing your HRA, you will earn 180 wellness points! 

Be well!
