What's new in 2024
The 2024 program launches on February 13. Any screenings or activities completed between January 1 and the program start date will be processed as usual and still count towards your 2024 points total. Participants will also be able to retroactively log physical activity occurring before February 13.
Due to device connectivity challenges, step tracking will no longer be available in 2024, however, the program has added new point-earning opportunities for participants. Starting February 13, the “Get Active” section of the My Health Rewards portal will allow participants to earn up to 100 points per week for logging exercise and other physical activity, doubling the previous limit of 50 points per week.
