Be Well UC: October is 'It s YOUR Health' Month

Our health is our most valuable asset, which is why it’s the focus of October’s Be Well UC monthly spotlight. No matter our age or gender, there are recommendations to stay on top of your health. So what are you doing to take care of yours? We have some great opportunities to help you make healthy choices for your future.

• The Benefits Fair is just around the corner! There will be many opportunities to learn about your health which may include hearing screenings, movement screenings and tables from other wellness vendors (some variety by location). Below are just a few of the options, which require appointments:

• De-stressing while hanging out with my colleagues at a paint night – feels great to do something outside the norm! #BeWellUC
  
• To #BeWellUC in the fall means pumpkin. Here’s my favorite treat – pumpkin dip!
