In January, Stanford launched a new three-step faculty and staff program that offers incentives for learning about fitness. The first step in the "BeWell" program is to take a health and lifestyle assessment online and receive a $150 cash reward. The next step involves a free session to interpret the results. The third step is to put the plan into action by creating a wellness plan based on those results and enrolling in health-related classes and activities offered on campus at a reduced rate.

To make the second step as simple and easy as possible for SLAC employees, the BeWell program will offer a one-hour on-site interpretation class at 12:00 p.m. today in Panofsky Auditorium. To prepare for this class, simply fill out the Stanford Health and Lifestyle Assessment (SHALA) and then sign up for today's interpretation session.

Faculty and staff who complete the SHALA and attend an interpretation session may sign up for a free fitness assessment and/or two free personal training sessions. In the spring quarter, most activities under the HIP heading "Fitness Classes" also will be offered for a reduced fee of $20 for those who complete steps 1 and 2. Employees will be able to use STAP funds for many classes that fall under the category "Healthy Living."
