Goshen College
PA-11: Wellness Program

For employees: Goshen College has teamed up with other members of MEBP (Mennonite Educators Benefit Program), Bravo Wellness, and Everence to create a “win-win-win” wellness program to: Improve and sustain better health for employees; Create savings on health care expenses for employees and the employer; and Free up resources that can be used for pay, benefits, and other institutional priorities This will be achieved by encouraging employees to have a confidential screening annually at no cost to the employee, and providing resources to help employees make better lifestyle choices and health care decisions. While this is a voluntary program, those employees who choose not to participate in screenings will be required to start paying 20% of their individual health care premium rate as of July 2011. We need to attain a high employee participation rate in order to positively affect the future cost of health care at all MEBP institutions while also improving the overall health of our employees. For students: Goshen College has partnered with the local Goshen Family Physicians to serve as the primary medical service provider for students and for such program-related services as SST immunizations and athletic physicals. Counseling services are offered on campus in the Wellness and Health Center space (the east end of the Rec-Fitness Center). For employees and students: The Goshen College Rec-Fitness Center is available to all employees and students for exercise and structured health and wellness training.
