Marquette University’s My Wellness program has received the Excellence in Wellness Award from the university’s wellness partner, Marquee Health, for the third consecutive year. The recipients of this award are recognized for providing a best-in-class health and wellness program to its employees and for promoting a culture of health and well-being.
Over 1,000 organizations of all sizes were evaluated on specific metrics including program engagement, strong leadership support and participation, and benefit integration.
Learn more about Marquette’s wellness program and get involved by visiting the Employee Wellness website.
The 2024-25 My Wellness year ends on Aug. 15, so there is still time to earn points for activities such as visiting your primary care provider, participating in free 1:1 wellness coaching, or performing certain physical activity. All activities can be recorded in the My Wellness portal and those enrolled in a Marquette medical insurance plan can earn contributions toward a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA).
