A healthy diet and regular exercise are two key components to lowering your risk of illness or disease. These, along with getting enough sleep, keeping your mental health in check and lowering stress, build a strong foundation for a healthy body and immune system. Your SchoolCare health benefits offer numerous ways to support your path to a healthier lifestyle and the Good For You! Well-Being Program offers opportunities to earn cash incentives for making health improvements or maintaining an already healthy lifestyle.

With Omada, members get a dedicated virtual team of real people and a personalized health plan to help them feel better long-term.

Omada’s program uses a science-based approach to help participants manage and even reduce dependency on certain medications, provides one-on-one support, education, diet and exercise tracking through its app, and helps you build healthy routines to fit into your lifestyle.

SchoolCare /Cigna participants and covered dependents ages 18+ are eligible to receive the program at no additional cost if at risk for type 2 diabetes or heart disease or living with diabetes or high blood pressure, and are accepted into the program.
