All Vanderbilt faculty and staff who are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle are encouraged to participate in Go for the Gold.
Top 10 Reasons To Participate in Go for the Gold:
- Learn about risk factors for Heart Disease, Diabetes, Cancer and Osteoporosis. The Health Risk Assessment is a great way to learn about maintaining healthy habits.
- Find out your “Health Age” – according to your health habits you might be younger than you thought!
- View your progress – you can compare your Health Risk Assessment results to previous years. Take action and see the results!
- Get Active – log your steps using the Start! Physical Activity Tracker and check off one of 12 actions in the Wellness Actions Log.
- Know Your Numbers – and stay in control of weight and blood pressure.
- Maintain Good Health with Preventive Care – learn about recommended health screenings and self-care.
- Your Decisions Matter – An advance directive tells your health care provider what kind of care you would like to have if you become unable to make medical decisions. It lets your health care provider know what kinds of treatment you do or do not want.
