Welcome to the Healthy Horizons Program!
Butler University Wellness Stipend
The University is offering all part-time and fulltime employees a $200 stipend for purchasing a 12- month HRC membership and completing the Healthy Horizons Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and Health Screening. Both services are preformed by the Clinical faculty of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and are completely confidential. The HRA involves answering a 10-minute questionnaire about your health practices. The 30-minute Heath Screening tests for cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure, weight and body composition.
To schedule an HRA and Health Screening Appointment, email healthyhorizons@butler.edu or call 940-8143.
For more information regarding a HRC membership go to www.butler.edu/hrc or email recreation@butler.edu.

The program assists employees with improving their health, provides ongoing information and health education programs, and helps identify health risks and ways to reduce those risks. The program is conducted by the Health Education Center, part of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
