Gov. Minner Unveils New Health and Wellness Program for State Employees

Dover – Governor Ruth Ann Minner and the State Employment Benefits Committee today officially launched DelaWELL, a voluntary state employee health and wellness initiative that will include a confidential health risk assessment and a comprehensive education and lifestyle plan custom tailored for participants.

“Our state employees are a vital resource in ensuring Delaware’s continued success,” Gov. Minner said. “As Governor, I know that investing in our state employees’ continued health is critical. DelaWELL will not only provide employees the opportunity to achieve a healthy lifestyle goal, but it will complement our other successful health initiatives, such as the Know Your Numbers Campaign.”

The DelaWELL program begins with a health risk assessment through a confidential, personalized questionnaire designed to evaluate participants’ health status. After completing the health risk assessment, participants will receive a personal report that includes feedback, tools and resources to assist in making lifestyle changes.

The program will also offer: personalized lifestyle and disease management coaching programs for conditions such as asthma, diabetes and coronary artery disease; online health resources including a wellness library, health education centers, a drug database, health calculators, recipes and daily health news updates; periodic health-related prizes and limited financial incentives; and unlimited access to a helpline with a professional healthcare coach for those in a high risk category.

DelaWELL is designed to target individuals with modifiable lifestyle health risk factors and focuses on long-term behavior changes for these individuals. The state is partnering with StayWell Health Management for this important initiative. StayWell is an award-winning, industry leader in health management programming and an independent provider of health promotion programs and services. StayWell specializes in helping employers improve the health and well-being of their employees and have designed and managed programs for many major employers.
