BMW Healthy Heart Initiative - Every Beat Counts

In your lifetime, your heart needs to be beat over 2 billion times! The key to a stronger heart is to take steps toward leading a healthier lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, a healthy bodyweight, nicotine cessation, a responsible attitude towards alcohol, stress management, and regular health checks. Even minor changes to your lifestyle can have a positive impact on your heart. What’s more, these changes not only benefit your heart, but your overall health and wellbeing as well. It’s never too late to adopt a healthier lifestyle!

TX-64 has partnered with Canteen and the Associate Family Health Center to offer healthy living resources to Team10 members. One resource includes a monthly table at a variety of locations on campus, giving team members access to information on smoking cessation, heart-healthy diets, exercise, and stress management. Furthermore, team members can consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist, a nurse, or a health advocate to explore methods to improve their health. View the schedule below to plan your visit to an upcoming Healthy Heart table. *

It’s Not too Late to Earn 100 Wellbeing Points!

It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through the year. That means the deadline to earn 100 Wellbeing points will be here before we know it. There is still plenty of time to log into your Wellbeing account to record your wellbeing activities and earn points! Here are some important reminders to consider when planning your point-earning activities:Review your health history and identify any potential issues.

  • Starting January 1, 2024, you MUST complete either an annual physical OR a health check as 40 of your 100 points. You are welcome to complete both the annual physical and health check but are only required to complete one.

  • Annual physicals should be scheduled with your previously established primary care physician—whether they are at a community office or the AFHC. The health checks (previously called biometrics) are appointments available only through the AFHC.

  • The point earning deadline is December 15, 2024. This falls on a SUNDAY this year! Keep that in mind as you schedule appointments. All activities must be manually uploaded to your wellbeing portal by the end of this day to be eligible for the wellbeing incentive. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to upload points after the deadline.

  • If you experience any problems uploading proof of your wellbeing activities, please contact the Navigate help desk at info@navigatewell.com or (888) 282-0822.

  • Review the full activity list on your Wellbeing account or app to help you earn the remaining points after completing your annual physical or health check. You may be surprised how many activities you already do that earn points.

Those who meet program requirements by the deadline will be eligible to receive a $500/$1000 wellbeing incentive in 2025. The Wellbeing. Your Way. Program aims to reward you for taking care of yourself and being an active participant in your health and wellbeing. Don’t leave money on the table!
