Employee Wellness

At Northwest, employee wellness (mind, body and spirit) is of the utmost importance.

Fall MoveSpring App Challenge
Let's all try to get in at least two miles (or the equivalent in steps or other activities; remember, everything counts!) Make sure to check out the Exercise page below, as it’s not too late to sign-up and join in on the fun!

Wondr
With rolling enrollment, it’s not too late to sign-up & participate in this program. For more details and to register, visit Wondr.

One-on-One
And lastly, as Dr. Van Buren has taken a position in a family medicine clinic out of state, she is now working remotely and thus meetings and consultations with her have been shifted to an online format. She offers 30-minute consultations to Northwest employees who have questions or concerns regarding the benefits of their BCBS insurance plan and/or questions/concerns regarding their overall health and well-being.

Reach out if you’re struggling to make heads or tails of new medical information, understand a diagnosis or interpret lab results. Dr. Van Buren is happy to provide general medical information and assist you in creating a list of questions to bring to your next PCP or specialist appointment.

Dr. Van Buren, ND, MSN

I am very excited to announce a new addition to the Northwest HR Wellness Program for 2024. Employees who currently hold a BCBS insurance plan are eligible to participate in the Wondr program at no cost to them.

As we roll into the fall semester, I am working remotely. As always, I am here to support employees in 1-on-1 consultations every Wednesday and Friday.

In health, 
 - Melissa
Employee Wellness Coordinator
