Begin Your Wellness Assessment

We offer all members a free, confidential online Personal Wellness Assessment (developed by Vanderbilt University School of Medicine). A report at the end of the assessment will inform you of your current state of health in relation to others in your age and gender group. The summary will also give recommendations, which you may choose to follow-up on your own, or consult with a wellness coach provided by Baptist Health who will be on-site at the JCA to educate and motivate you to adopt lifestyle changes and achieve your goals. When appropriate, they may help members seeking healthcare and medical providers, but they are not a substitute for a personal physician.
