Personal Health Assessment (PHA) Registration is Now Open
What is a PHA?
The Personal Health Assessment is a tool that highlights how our lifestyle choices directly impact overall health. Two scores are provided:
- Your Lifestyle Rating is based on your self-reported daily habits related to nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, stress and depression, and tobacco use.
- Your Biometric Score is based on tobacco use, Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar.
The Personal Health Assessment Report provides personalized feedback, tips to improve your lifestyle habits, and resources for more information.
Who is eligible to participate?
All staff and faculty are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the PHA process. Participation is also encouraged for the following individuals covered under the Lawrence University medical plan: spouses/domestic partners of employees, retirees and spouses/domestic partners of retirees.
Note for Medical Plan Participants
Participation by employees, retirees covered under the medical plan, and spouses/domestic partners covered under the medical plan will provide the discounts to the medical plan premium. All participants must complete both the biometric screening and the lifestyle questionnaire to receive the premium discount. The questionnaire can be completed 5 days after your biometric screening appointment. Discounts are provided based upon participation and are not scoring or results based.
