2025 WellBAMA Health Screenings are starting strong!

“The screening helped me identify early signs of elevated blood pressure, which prompted me to adjust my lifestyle, including changes in my diet and exercise routine.”

One of the best benefits of working at the University of Alabama is the free WellBAMA health screenings (in our definitely biased opinion). Not only do you have the opportunity to check your cholesterol, glucose, and triglycerides, but you also receive 50 WellBAMA Rewards Points, a $50 gift card, and a t-shirt!

Full-time benefits eligible employees can attend one WellBAMA Health Screening per calendar year. So far in 2025, Wellness and Work-Life held three screenings at three different locations: Student Center, University Recreation, and Bidgood Hall where we had a total of 599 employees attend!

There’s no doubt about it, your colleagues see the benefits of attending their screening…

“The first time I did the WellBAMA screening my numbers were not good at all. I have been doing this program for several years and they are so much better. The information that is available is so valuable to keep me on track with my health.”

“My wellness journey started after attending my first WellBAMA Screening where I was able to identify goals …As a full-time working employee with a young child at home, I was inspired to be in the best health as possible to increase energy and be fully present in all aspects of my life.”

If you haven’t yet attended your Health Screening, you can see the full Spring schedule on our website or on your WellBAMA Portal. There, you can also schedule your Screening, any Wellness Classes you’d like to attend, and keep track of your WellBAMA Rewards progress.

You may choose to have your health care provider complete a Medical Qualification Form rather than attend a WellBAMA Health Screening. You must submit your form within 30 days of the exam date, and you will receive your $50 virtually.
