This year, we look forward to new ways in which Healthy Rewards can support you – and we can all support each other – on the journey to living well.

Over the past year, we asked you to consider the unique reasons each of you has for living well. Finding that motivation – that reason for continually making healthy choices – is the foundation for building a healthy lifestyle.

But sustaining healthy choices isn’t always easy. That’s why we need support systems to help us maintain our forward progress. Maybe it’s a workout buddy who keeps you on track at the gym; or a coworker who urges you to try new, healthier foods. I personally find support and motivation from my family. My husband, daughters, sisters, and now my beautiful granddaughter, all inspire and support me on my wellness journey.

The Healthy Rewards program offered by Children’s is another support system intended to help us focus on better health. Many of the activities are perfect for sharing with co-workers, family members and friends.

We can accomplish so much more with the support of others. It’s what our value of Collaboration is all about. This year, we look forward to new ways in which Healthy Rewards can support you – and we can all support each other – on the journey to living well. Because “wellness,” as you may have noticed, starts with “we.”

How it worksThe 2016/2017 Healthy Rewards program runs Sept. 1, 2016 to Aug. 31, 2017. Achieve your health goals and earn credits by taking part in wellness activities. Log in to your Healthy Rewards wellness portal at CHWHealthyRewards.org and enter each activity to confirm that it was completed. As credits add up, you become eligible for health plan premium savings or a wellness incentive.

To earn your 2017 Healthy Rewards credits, all activities must be completed by Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2017.

If you are enrolled in a Children’s Hospital health plan:

• Credits earned by Aug. 31, 2017 apply toward the cost of your 2018 health plan premiums (starting Jan. 1, 2018).

• If a spouse is covered under your health plan, he or she is eligible to participate, earn credits and save money. Healthy Rewards eligibility begins the same day as health plan coverage.

• Employees (and enrolled spouses) must complete BOTH (1) annual online Wellness Assessment and (2) a biometric screening to earn a premium reduction or wellness incentive.

• Other activity credits add up and help you earn a Children’s health plan premium reduction or wellness incentive. See the Healthy Rewards wellness incentive offering chart in this brochure for details.

Welcome to Healthy Rewards Healthy Rewards is the employee wellness program offered at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. It’s a coordinated approach to wellness activities and programs designed to improve your health and well-being and help you find, reduce or even eliminate preventable chronic diseases. Many of the activities are perfect for sharing with co-workers, family members and friends. The goal of Healthy Rewards is to help you live healthier, stay well and feel good — all while earning Healthy Rewards credits when you complete wellness activities.

Healthy Rewards credits add up and lower the cost of your health insurance. If you’re not enrolled in a Children’s Hospital health plan, credits can be used to earn a gift card if you are benefit-eligible.

Healthy Rewards supports our values of Health and Collaboration. Being healthy helps you to be at your best at home and work. And it’s easier to reach our health goals when we collaborate to support one another. Together in good health, we can work toward our vision of having the healthiest kids in the country.

Earn up to: 75 credits

You will receive credit for maintaining a healthy lifestyle of never using tobacco, or by being tobacco-free for one year or longer. The American Heart Association supports including e-cigarettes in the definition of tobacco products (or tobacco-derived products) and smoking. Therefore, if you are an e-cigarette user, you are not identified as tobacco-free.

Employees enrolled in a Children’s Hospital Health Plan

You will automatically receive credit for being tobacco-free once you have completed enrollment in the Children’s Hospital Health Plan using Employee Self Service.

Employees not enrolled in a Children’s Hospital Health Plan

If you’re not enrolled in a Children’s Hospital health plan, go to the wellness portal Activities tab and complete the Tobacco Use Affidavit Activity. If you indicate that you are not a tobacco user, you will receive credit.

Health CoachingSeptember 2016 - August 2017


Results from the biometric screening and Wellness Assessment identify whether you may be at risk for developing more serious health conditions in the future. Based on your results, you may be eligible for Health Coaching. Health Coaching is a highly personalized program that provides one-on-one assistance to help you meet your wellness goals.

From diet and exercise to emotional well-being, your health coach will help you identify areas you want to improve and work with you to develop healthy lifestyle behaviors as you work to achieve your goals. If you qualify, you will be contacted by Accountable Health Solutions.
