Good afternoon CPS, There are some updates to be aware of regarding Virgin Pulse points for the rest of this year. If you haven’t reached your 80,000 points yet, see below for ways of earning points. HEW is unable to offer Health Screenings or Voluntary Physicals in the clinic for the remainder of the fiscal year. If they receive Health Screening forms completed by outside doctors’ offices, they will accept them, but they discourage anyone from making a special trip to an outside healthcare office to get a screening. What about the 20,000 Virgin Pulse points for the Health Screenings, you ask? Don’t worry! If you have already earned them they are yours. If not, watch for many new (and easy) point-earning opportunities coming soon to help offset the Health Screening, including 10,000 points for the Argonne Health Pact. Join the Argonne Health Pact and earn 10,000 points. The link to the pact is in your Workday inbox. It will take up to 4-6 weeks for the points to be credited to your Virgin Pulse account. The 2020 4Life lecture, HEW113, is worth 20,000 Virgin Pulse (VP) points and can be found at: HEW113: Food for Thought: Everyday Eating for Wellness https://www.eshtraining.anl.gov/courses/HEW113/index.html The 2020 4Life lectures (1,000 VP pts for each lecture): Upcoming Blue Jeans lectures: HEW 20 Minute Seminar: Plant-Based diets July 2 12:15 pm – 12:35 pm https://bluejeans.com/167125572 Blue Jeans meeting 167 125 572 Past lectures are available online at: HEW113MAR: What to Do with a Sweet Tooth: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113MAR/splash HEW113FEB: Facts About Fiber: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113FEB/splash HEW113JAN: Plan Ahead for Healthy Meals https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113JAN/splash HEW113DEC: Winter Weight Gain https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBcT/HEW113DEC/splash HEW113NOV: Reading Food Labels November video: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113NOV/splash HEW113OCT: Fill Your Plate with Fall Vegetables October video: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113OCT/splash Watch Virgin Pulse for a Healthy Habit Challenge offered in conjunction with that month’s seminar.
