Welcome to MHealthy's bi-monthly publication for faculty and staff. As our workplace changes, so do our programs and services. What hasn't changed? Our commitment to supporting your health and well-being.

Do It For You – Take Your HQ

After a challenging year, many of us are looking to summer as an opportunity to focus on our own health. If you're not sure where to start or want to assess your current well-being needs, MHealthy's annual health questionnaire (HQ) helps to remove the guesswork.

It takes only a few minutes to complete and, based on your responses, you'll get:

• Health and well-being areas to focus on
• Programs and resources available through Asset Health, MHealthy and other university entities

The health questionnaire is available on the new MHealthy Portal, powered by Asset Health (for the best experience, use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge). Active benefits-eligible faculty and staff and their spouse/other qualified adult enrolled in a U-M health plan can access it.

New Fruit and Veggie Challenge Coming June 28

Summer fruits and vegetables are plentiful at our local farmers markets and grocery stores. What better way to encourage nourishing our bodies with the best nature has to offer than with our new Fruit and Veggie Challenge!

This six-week online challenge encourages you to take small steps toward eating a well-rounded diet.

• Eat fruits and vegetables and log your servings online
• No calorie counting, weighing or measuring
• Get weekly emails with tips, how-to videos, recipes and more.

Save the date – registration opens June 28. Logging your servings starts July 12.

Has your ability to perform your job changed – either permanently or temporarily – due to a change in your vision, hearing, strength, endurance or coordination? If so, assistance and support are available through MHealthy's Medical Ergonomics Program.

With a physician's referral, an occupational therapist will provide guidance and identify worksite accommodations to successfully match your abilities to the job's needs.

It's important to teach our children sound eating habits. Now that school is out, one way to take advantage of the extra time with them is by cooking healthier snacks and meals together. Project Healthy Schools (PHS), an MHealthy program that teaches middle school students to make healthier choices, has tons of kid-friendly online resources, including cooking videos, recipes and nutrition education posted to its site.
