BeHIP (Better Health Incentive Program)
Your health is important to you, your family and your friends. Your health and well-being are also
important to the Lycoming County School Districts and Penn College. As your employer, we recognize
the value of investing in a comprehensive Wellness Program which promotes healthy lifestyles and
builds a culture of wellness through educational opportunities, wellness activities, and support for
self-improvement through healthy lifestyle choices. The goals of our wellness program are to decrease
the risk of disease and to enhance the quality of life of our employees.
For this reason, we are offering insured employees and their spouses participation in BeHIP! (Better
Health Incentive Program). All information collected is kept with either Blue Cross NEPA or with the
Health and Wellness Coordinator. No information is ever shared with your employer and information
is kept confidential!
