WELLNESS
Resources
Southwest General Health Center is here to support you in your wellness journey.
We do this by partnering with Southwest General Wellness, a wellness provider that works to implement wellness services in our community. Southwest General Wellness equips you with tools and resources throughout the year to guide you in Southwest General Health Center’s voluntary wellness program. The more you participate in your own health and wellbeing, the more incentives you can earn in the program.
Southwest General Wellness is a separate provider committed to your privacy and confidentiality. Your protected health information will not be shared with your employer. In addition, Southwest General Wellness fully complies with the Affordable Care Act, federal regulations and policies, and will administer compliant wellness programming.
Southwest General Wellness encourages you to feel your best. Throughout the year, you will find opportunities to take advantage of wellness resources that promote awareness and help you take charge of and maintain your wellbeing.

What Else Should I Know?
This year, participants will not need to meet any wellness goals in order to earn incentives in the SWG Wellness Program. Participants can earn incentives by completing an annual well visit with their primary care provider (Pathway 1) and completing at least two preventive care activities (Pathway 2).
Completing Pathway 2 will earn the greatest amount of incentives toward healthcare costs in 2025. All portions of Pathway 2 must be completed in order to earn the incentive.
All annual well visits and preventive care activities completed for credit in the 2024 Southwest General Wellness Program should be completed between December 1, 2023 and December 1, 2024.
No onsite screenings will take place in 2024.
