MyHealthyLiving, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health’s wellness rewards program, aims to support the health and well-being of every employee – at work and beyond. The program offers points and cash rewards to employees for participating in a variety of wellness activities. Points and activities are then tracked digitally through the Limeade platform with new programs being added regularly to support employees wherever they are in their self-care journey.
“When I first started the MyHealthyLiving Program, the financial incentive is what drew me in,” said Jamilyn McNally, insurance authorization specialist, LG Health. “Then I started seeing the benefits, not only in my paycheck, but in my overall physical and mental health.”
A participant since the program’s inception, McNally especially enjoys the walking challenges, mindfulness exercises and wellness discussions offered through Limeade. “Having the Limeade app keeps fitness at your fingertips,” she said. “I can connect with my body and take care of my own physical and mental health needs in a way that is simple yet beneficial.”
LG Health employees can find a multitude of wellness resources through the MyHealthyLiving Program whether it be one-on-one health coaching, on-site fitness classes, free health screenings or the meQuilibrium app, which offers personalized stress reduction tools.
“We know overall well-being has a multitude of dimensions that impact all areas of life,” said Brian Boyd, manager, Corporate Wellness. “Through our wellness programming, we aim to support the overall employee by offering individualized resources while still creating positive changes that effect the whole employee population.”
In the coming months, the wellness team will be launching new programming, including Wellbeing Champs, which will designate a wellness champion in each department. The wellness champion will connect fellow employees with the health and well-being resources best suited to them.
“LG Health recognizes that our physical and mental well-being goes beyond better job performance” said McNally. “I feel like as people, we are really cared about and our health is valued here.”
