STEP 1
Health Screening: Free health screenings will be offered at University Human Resources. A detailed explanation and instructions will be sent to you in a separate mailing via campus mail.

STEP 2
Personal Wellness Profile: The Personal Wellness Profile (PWP) is a health risk appraisal that asks a variety of questions about health and lifestyle habits such as physical activity, nutrition, stress, etc. The PWP can be completed online https://wellsuite.com/ohiou/pwp/ or on paper. The profile should take less than 30 minutes to complete. Instructions for completing the online Personal Wellness Profile and your health screening results will be mailed to you.

After completing the PWP, a personal report will be generated. The report will provide an overview of your health status and recommendations for health improvement and follow-up care.

STEP 3
Education Sessions: Follow-up education sessions will be held at University HUman Resources. These sessions will help you better understand your PWP report and will provide health information and resources available to assist you with your next step.
