At the on-site screening you will be asked to verify your identity (driver’s license, etc.) and proof of insurance. You will then go through a series of staffed stations for the testing, which generally takes less than 20 minutes. Complete your Health Risk Survey online provided by your health plan Use your biometric screening results to complete the survey. Visit http://wellwisconsin.wi.gov and click on your insurance plan in the column to the left for a direct link to the online Health Survey. This quick, easy survey will ask a range of questions including your daily stress level, family medical history, and typical meal plan. The Health Survey is designed to help you gauge intangible well-being factors to pinpoint possible health risks. Once the biometric screening and health survey are completed, the $150 incentive will be processed and issued by your health insurance provider. Even if you are unable to attend the on-site Biometric Screening on April 30^th, you can complete the biometric screening portion with your physician (the necessary paper forms for physician’s completion are available under each individual health plan on the Well Wisconsin website). Please direct any questions to Kimberly Danielson, Benefits Specialist, at (920) 465-2196 or danielsk@uwgb.edu. We can always work to improve the quality of our lives through health and wellness!

	An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) analyzes the heart’s electrical rhythm for abnormalities. When needed, and AED administers a shock, called defibrillation, to a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. The shock may help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm and can increase the chance of survival. Every minute counts.Even the fastest ambulance response rates in the U.S. are not sufficient to give most Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims a fighting chance–unless an AED is readily available. Victims’ survival chances drop by 10% for every minute that passes, while an AED can increase survival chances from 5% to as high as 75%. The University has recently added several AED’s providing for over 30 across the campus. Come to this session and get informed about how to properly use an AED in an emergency situation.
