Individualized Health Planning Sessions (IHPs)

Registration is Open!

  • Want to Be Healthier? We Can Help.
    Registration is open for the Individualized Health Planning sessions (IHPs), which begin October 4.

    Sign up and participate in a series of six face-to-face health planning sessions with an experienced wellness consultant, who will customize a plan to help you achieve your personal health and wellness goals.

    There are a limited number of program sessions available. Whatever your health goals, we can help. If you are interested in:
    Improving overall health
    • Managing weight
    • Reducing stress
    • Developing an exercise plan
    • And more!

    Make sure you're one of the first to register.

    IHPs are a benefit of your UA Health In Action program, provided at no out-of-pocket cost to you. Program participation is limited, and sessions fill-up fast. We offer convenient times and on-campus locations. IHPs are available to both new and past participants. Only UA Health Plan eligible employees may participate.

    To register, simply click on your campus's IHP session link below and follow the online prompts.

    UAA: Diplomacy Building, room 303-M

    Please Note: All participants must register as a new user, even if you have participated in IHPs in the past.
    Congratulations! The numbers from the first two phases of the IHP program not only shows its success, but also demonstrates the measurable, positive impact on participants' health.
