Dear Texas Tech University System family,
As medical professionals, we like to emphasize the importance of health and wellness in every aspect of our lives. We care for you like family and aim to provide each of you with the chance to participate in our Health + Wellness Initiative at the Texas Tech University System.
Through the Health + Wellness program, we have several resources available to benefits-eligible employees.
- Wondr Health is a digital behavioral program that addresses the full continuum of mind and body well-being. Wondr teaches clinically proven, weight-management skills and provides preventative-care solutions and mindfulness strategies to make favorable impacts on weight-related conditions, sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety and overall stress. This program is available at no cost to benefits-eligible employees, retirees or dependents enrolled in a HealthSelect plan.
- Catapult Health VirtualCheckup connects you with a certified nurse practitioner who helps you complete an annual screening evaluation, including bloodwork, blood pressure and body measurements. Health care professionals can then use your individualized plan to take the appropriate steps forward. The cost of the checkup is covered at 100% by your HealthSelect plan.In addition, you get a free blood pressure monitor that you get to keep!
- ERS of Texas provides a multitude of additional health and wellness initiatives, including mental health resources, weekly webinars, articles and wellness challenges. You can find additional information on ERS of Texas’ wellness resources page.
- Finally, you can join our TTU System Health + Wellness Facebook Group, where we invite our TTU System family to participate in the conversation through asking and answering questions, sharing advice and providing reminders and additional resources.We cover topics ranging from financial wellness to outdoor resources.
- This week, you will receive emails from Wondr and Catapult Health with updates about each program and how you can gain access to the great benefits these programs offer.
We are thrilled to welcome you to our Health + Wellness community and support your health journey as a member of the TTU System family. Thank you for all you do for this community!
