A health assessment is the first step toward planning positive lifestyle changes. 

To achieve good health, it’s important that we know where we are starting from. The Health Assessment is a chance for you and your spouse/ domestic partner to learn more about your current health status and to identify any areas for improvement.

By completing your confidential Health Assessment, you can gain insight on:

• Health risks you may currently have but don't know about.
• Information about topics such as weight management, nutrition and hypertension.
• Tools to help you make positive health behavior changes.

Health assessments are available to members of the UC non-Kaiser medical plans through StayWell Health Management and to members of Kaiser Permanente under Kaiser's HealthWorks wellness program.
