The EPC is invested in your well-being. One way we do that is to support a wellness program—a systematic approach to healthcare that emphasizes employee health and disease prevention instead of the treatment of an illness. Studies show that employees who participate in such a program are:

• Absent from work less often.
• More engaged in managing their health.
• More productive.
• Less costly to the healthcare system.

The EPC Wellness Program is voluntary, has no cost to participate, and provides immediate and long-term benefits. To encourage participation, eligible individuals who complete an online Wellness Profile will receive a $50 gift certificate redeemable at one of more than 200 retailers.

Click here for more information about the Wellness Program and how to complete your online Wellness Profile.

After completion of your Wellness Profile, you will receive a confirmation email at the address you used to register at www.highmarkbcbs.org. You should receive your award by mail from Hallmark Business Connections by the 15th of the following month of completing your Wellness Profile. Eligible EPC members may receive only one reward per calendar year.
