If you would like to improve your overall health, reduce stress, manage your weight, or develop an exercise plan, take this opportunity to participate in our series of six face-to-face health-planning sessions with an experienced wellness consultant. These sessions include biometric screenings for blood pressure, body composition, and cholesterol. Over 700 UA faculty and staff are registered for their Individualized Health Planning Sessions (IHPs). In Fairbanks, we've added a new IHP session location for new IHP participants in January - Butrovich Building, Room 109-C, on Wednesdays from 12-5pm. In addition, a small allotment of initial sessions will be opened up in January for the other locations at UAF and UAS. These sessions will be limited and on a first-come first-serve basis. Anchorage IHP sessions are now full.
