Health and wellness program

Nationwide developed the My Health health and wellness program to create a workplace that fosters good health and encourages associates to live healthier lifestyles. We help each associate take an active role and commit to making healthier choices, while addressing rising health care costs. This free and confidential program is available to all Nationwide associates and their adult dependents.

Program offerings

• Health screenings so associates can learn their current health numbers such as cholesterol and glucose levels, triglycerides, blood pressure, height and weight
• Online health assessment to learn their current health status and understand what things they can change and what they can't
