ELEVATE EHA Program

Hay Springs Public School staff members have the opportunity to participate in a wellness program sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Nebraska. The wellness program encourages participants to track healthy behaviors through quarterly and monthly challenges. Members who complete the challenges are then entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card. As part of this wellness program, Hay Springs also participates in the extra incentive program, ELEVATE. ELEVATE includes a financial incentive for both the employee and the wellness group. If employees meet all the requirements for the ELEVATE program, they will receive a $150 gift card. If 50% of the members meet the requirements, then the wellness program will receive a $5000 grant to be used for employee health and wellness for the 2020/2021 school year. We just wrapped up our ELEVATE fiscal year, and are patiently waiting for the announcement that we received the grant. The Wellness Team has several ideas on how to use the grant to enhance employee wellness. We will share those plans when they have been finalized.
