Welcome to
What you need to know.


The Hydrate Your Health Wellness Program is designed to help you maintain a high level of wellbeing through nutrition, activity, stress management, and illness prevention and management. Our program includes a comprehensive Biometric Screening with Nicotine testing, a Personal Health Questionnaire, and wellness challenges throughout the year with opportunities to earn up to $200 in rewards. New for 2022, we have added a 4th step, completion of the COVID-19 vaccine.

You are eligible for this voluntary program if you are a team member enrolled in a Niagara medical plan on 1/1/2022.

Complete ALL of the following activities to avoid paying the Wellness Surcharge. The Surcharge is $40/pay period.

  1. Complete your Personal Health Questionnaire (PHQ): The PHQ is an online confidential questionnaire through Virgin Pulse, available between 12/15/2021 - 2/28/2022.
  2. Participate in a Biometric Screening: You’ll decide where you want to complete your Biometric Screening - whether it’s an at-home test kit, Quest Lab, or a Niagara on-site event (if available). More information coming in December.
  3. Test Negative for Nicotine: During the Biometric Screening, participate in a free Nicotine Test and test negative for nicotine use.
  4. Certified Completion of COVID Vaccine: For program purposes, we will recognize all vaccination completions in 2021 and through 2/28/2022. Share your vaccine record with Niagara HR.
Complete all 4 activities, or you will see a $40 wellness surcharge starting May 2022. You will have the opportunity to complete 6 coaching sessions with our Personal Health Coaching program to earn a refund of surcharges. When you score healthy ranges for your biometric screening and complete other wellness activities, you can earn up to $200 at the rewards mall!

OR

Complete the Alternative Program: If you choose not participate in one or more wellness activities, you may complete the alternative program, Personal Health Coaching. When you complete 6 coaching sessions prior to 9/30/2022, you will earn a refund of the Wellness Surcharges.
