This year the ELCA Board of Pensions has two ways for you to live better and save.  We're calling it 2 for All... 2 ways to take healthy steps, 2 ways to earn wellness dollars,  and a 2% discount for our congregations:

BulletNo1Take the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment by April 30 and get a $150 personal wellness account credit and help our congregations earn a 2% discount on health costs.

BulletNo2Earn more personal wellness dollars by completing the GO! Challenge, a four week program to help you eat, live and work healthier.

 

Last year, 47.5% of eligible plan members and spouses in SEPA completed the health assessment by the deadline. As of Jan. 31, 17% had completed the assessment.

Do your part to help us all get a break on health care costs!
