SHALA
Have you completed your Stanford Health and Lifestyle assessment?
Physicians who are benefits-eligible university employees and their spouses/registered domestic partners are encouraged to take the Stanford Health and Lifestyle Assessment as part of the BeWell@Stanford Employee Incentive Program.
Registration required, then takes 20 minutes to complete.
Upon completion you will have a report that compares your current lifestyle behaviors with national recommendations; gives you an idea of how ready you are to change your behaviors; and provides strategies to help reach your health goals.
Please note that at this time, only University employees can take SHALA, but we are working to open the assessment up to medical students and community physicians in the near future.
Medical residents are encouraged to take the assessment that is part of the hospital’s health promotion program called Healthy Steps.
