The $300Club
We asked employees participating in the Well ’Canes Incentives Program to tell us what benefits, besides the $300 cash reward, they have received from the program. “The incentives program helped me become more productive with my time and take a more proactive role with my health. By participating, I have already completed my annual physical, a mammogram, and colonoscopy this year. I have also logged my exercise and meals, which have resulted in feeling and looking healthier.” – Sharon Howard, Reimbursement Manager, Miller School of Medicine
