The 2024-25 My Wellness program year concludes Friday, Aug. 15. To earn FSA or HSA contributions for 2026 (for those enrolled in Marquette’s medical plans) and/or to earn points for quarterly raffle entries, eligible wellness activities must be completed and recorded in the My Wellness portal by that date.

While all activities must be recorded by Aug. 15, the deadline to enroll in one of the many health coaching programs to be eligible for points is July 12, since participants must complete all four sessions to qualify for that activity’s points.

Speaking of coaching, this time of year provides an excellent opportunity to consider partaking in one of the many free coaching offerings that are part of the My Wellness program. With the warm weather that summer brings, many aim to get outside and become active or push their exercise routine even further, and the physical activity or advanced physical activity coaching offerings can help. The later sunsets can cause some to get less sleep, and if so, the sleep hygiene offering may be able to help get one’s circadian rhythm back in sync. With the increase of farmer’s markets and fresh produce that exist during the summer months, the personalized nutrition coaching offering can help with planning healthy meals during a time of year where people tend to dine out more frequently. All of these one-on-one coaching programs are free and confidential. To sign up, either call 800-882-2109, email coaching@marqueehealth.com, or log in to the My Wellness portal and click “Coaching.”

One more way to earn points is to participate in the final wellness challenge of the program year. The Rethink Your Drink Challenge will run July 14-Aug. 10 and aims to help participants increase water consumption. Registration for this begins in the My Wellness portal on July 7. More information on this challenge will be communicated in early July.
