Completing Go for the Gold yearly will help you evaluate your current lifestyle, identify health risks, and decide where and how to make improvements. Use the personal recommendations you get to set your own goals based on what is important to you.
What can you expect this year?
- A revised Wellness Actions Log (WAL). The big change you will notice relates to the Wellness Categories Weight, Physical Activity and Blood Pressure, which require participation in Health Plus programs, specifically Know Your Numbers and Start!.
Health Plus provides Know Your Numbers locations for individuals on the main campus and at off-site locations, and for departments by request. Learn more.
Be sure to view the WAL soon, so you have plenty of time to complete it. Remember, you only need to complete 7 out of the 10 categories to get credit for completing the WAL.
