Welcome to the HEALTHY U, PASSHE’s new Health Care Management Program (HCMP) designed to help you improve your well-being and become more engaged in every aspect of your health.  The HCMP was developed by PASSHE for management, faculty, non-faculty coaches, police and security personnel and nurses.  If you are enrolled in the State System of Higher Education Group Health Program’s PPO or Indemnity health care plan, you and your covered spouse or same-sex domestic partner are strongly encouraged to participate in the HCMP. 

The unions representing the faculty, non-faculty coaches, police and security personnel and the nurses (APSCUF, SPFPA and OPEIU) provided input during the process of developing the HCMP and their support is instrumental in ensuring a successful program outcome.  Both PASSHE management and unions are hopeful that the HCMP will provide valuable information and tools to assist employees and their covered spouses or same-sex domestic partners in adopting healthier behaviors and in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 

Participation in the HCMP carries with it many rewards in addition to the financial incentives of paying substantially lower health care contribution rates.  In the long run, the payback in terms of your improved well-being will likely be far more significant than the contributions you saved since good health is the single most important quality in our lives and the basis for enjoying all other aspects of life.

Just as your university is the source of educational inspiration for thousands of students every year, PASSHE hopes that the Healthy U will inspire you and your family to become more educated about your own health and to take advantage of the information, resources and programs for a healthier you!
