What you need to know
When you join a Health Action Plan, you will work with an onsite health professional to develop a personalized plan for improving your health or addressing specific health risks.
You can earn up to $50 annually for your health reimbursement account (HRA) and receive Virgin Pulse points too!
How Our Health Action Plans Work
You can earn money for your health reimbursement account (HRA) when you complete Sandia’s Health Action Plans.
Our Health Action Plans focus on many health areas (for example, your diet or moving more). The programs and challenges are designed in partnership with health experts to help you learn about your health, make smart choices, and improve your health along the way.
The plans also connect you with Sandians who may share your health interests and concerns.
Small, easy steps are key to improving your health
We encourage you to participate in only one Health Action Plan at a time. This helps you develop healthy, sustainable habits.
