Wellness fairs offer free screenings

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Wellness Initiative and partners are hosting “All About You!” wellness fairs to educate the university community on total wellness.

Representatives from university departments covering all elements of wellness - physical, emotional, environmental, occupational, intellectual, spiritual and social - will offer dozens of free wellness screenings and services, including stress management, financial wellness and non-fasting cholesterol.

Events are held on the following dates and all are free to attend:

  • Oct. 20, 8 to 10 a.m., Nebraska East Union

  • Oct. 27, 8 to 10 a.m., Nebraska Union

  • Nov. 2, 8 to 10 a.m., Nebraska Union

  • Nov. 3, 8 to 10 a.m., Nebraska East Union

The four events will be held prior to the annual Health Risk Assessment that employees complete through their Firefly online employee portal in November.

Attendees can also find out their body mass index, blood pressure and fasting wellness blood profile – all of which are requested in the annual assessment. Those who complete the Fasting Wellness Blood Profile should fast the morning of the event and bring $25 cash or check only.

The Wellness Initiative encourages those in the university community to be informed about personal health and get connected to resources to improve or maintain their wellness status. Those who visit at least seven booths at the event will receive wellness swag and be entered to win one of four $50 gift cards to Campus Recreation.
