The Division of Human Resources’ Benefits and Employee Health Promotion Program strive to provide meaningful and timely opportunities to establish a culture of wellness at UNM. Working with local health partners makes a wealth of wellness resources available to UNM.
UNM’s primary partners in helping employees and their families stay healthy are UNM’s medical insurance plan administrators. Not only do Lovelace and Presbyterian administer employee benefits, but they offer a number of wellness and support programs to members. Both administrators offer telephone counseling to help those who want to quit using tobacco. Other value-added services include:
· Personal health coaching from trained professionals for personal and family health questions
· Prenatal care to keep mothers and babies healthy throughout pregnancy
· Chronic disease management with guidance from registered nurses
· Discounted services for alternative medicine and health products
· Nurse advice line staffed by registered nurses for guidance on health and illness topics.
For more information or to enroll in these services, call the customer service number listed on your UNM Medical Plan card.
In addition to medical insurance administrators, numerous other health partners help the UNM community stay healthy. Tuesday, Oct. 13-Thursday, Oct. 15, Benefits and EHPP are coordinating health screenings and the annual Road to Wellness Health Fair. The event will provide information and resources to support healthy lifestyles in a convenient and interactive environment. For information about the Road to Wellness Health Fair or health partners, call EHPP at (505) 272-4460.
