UC DAVIS:  VICE CHANCELLOR-ADMINISTRATION

October 15, 1998

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS:

RE:  Benefits and Wellness Faire, Wednesday, November 4, 1998

The campus Compensation/Benefits Office and the UCD Staff Assembly will host
the 1998 Benefits and Wellness Faire for active employees on Wednesday,
November 4, at Freeborn Hall from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This annual faire
provides an opportunity for employees to learn more about improving or
maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as well as learning about their group
insurance plan benefits from the insurance carriers.

Aside from the return of door prizes to this year's event, the highlight of
the Benefits and Wellness Faire will be the myriad of wellness activities,
including massage therapy, as well as pulmonary function, blood pressure, body
fat, and diabetes testing.  Flu shots will be offered at $3.00 per shot, and
bone scanning for osteoporosis detection will be offered at $5.00 per scan. 
Hearing testing will be available at no cost, but staff/faculty ID's must be
presented.  

All UC Davis group insurance carriers will be available to answer questions
concerning the University's health plans and discuss the 1999 health care
plans and benefits for employees.  The faire provides an excellent opportunity for
employees to meet with health care providers in preparation for this year's
Open Enrollment period, which will run from November 2 - 23, 1998. 

The importance of healthy employees who are aware of current health and
financial trends and issues makes this annual event a high priority for every
employee.  Release time with supervisory approval is appropriate.

For more information regarding this event, contact Liz Hansen at 752-1765 or
Maggie Overbaugh at 752-5992.
