A new wellness program from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota will be added to the health plan of NDSU employees beginning July 1.

To be eligible to participate in the health club reimbursement program or use NDwellnesscenter.com to earn and track points to be reimbursed for gift certificates, you will need to complete a health assessment using NDwellnesscenter.com beginning July 1 or after. The health assessment cannot be completed prior to July 1.

To find a list of the fitness centers that are available to use with the reimbursement program, go to the National Independent Health Club Association Web site at www.nihca.org. The Wallman Wellness Center is one of the available fitness centers.

Faculty and staff can join the Wallman Wellness Center for $24 per month, and, if it used 12 times during the month, participants will receive the $20 health club reimbursement. Then cost for membership is lowered to $4 per month.
