Canisius is committed to promoting wellness in our college community.
We encourage everyone to take responsibility for his or her health. One important step is to receive the preventive health services suggested by the medical community. As the old saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
In an effort to encourage all to obtain recommended tests, the college will participate in the Ticket to Good Health initiative sponsored by Independent Health. This initiative asks the participants to indicate their history of preventive services. Please review this five minute presentation. It explains the program. http://independenthealth.articulate-online.com/5860518421.
Those who participate in the program will be entered in a raffle for a Tops gift certificate. The tickets referenced in the presentation are located in the Human Resources Department. The completed ticket can be dropped off in the red box located in Human Resources. All information is kept completely confidential. The box can only be opened by an Independent Health representative.
Whether or not you choose to participate in Ticket to Good Health, I encourage all of you to obtain your recommended preventive services. Most preventive services have zero copay if completed by a participating provider.
Have a healthy year!
