Wellness Screening, Flu Shot Clinic & Benefits Fair – Oct. 11

On Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 7-11:30 a.m., Lincoln Land Community College will once again be offering benefit-eligible employees and their spouses the opportunity to participate in a wellness screening and flu shot clinic in the Trutter Center.  To participate, view the screening guide for detailed instructions to register.  The screening and flu shot is free to benefit-eligible employees and their spouses who are currently enrolled in an LLCC health insurance plan.  For those who are not on LLCC’s health insurance, you may still participate, but you will be responsible for the cost of the screening and flu shot.

Employees who fully participate in the wellness screening (biometric screening AND online health risk assessment questionnaire) will receive a $50 Visa gift card!

We will also be sponsoring a benefits fair in the Trutter Center, giving employees an opportunity to interact with various benefit providers who will be on-hand to answer your questions.  Benefits fair attendees will be eligible to participate in a drawing for prizes!

For those benefit-eligible employees who are unable to attend on Oct. 11, but wish to participate and qualify for the gift card, please contact Nicole Ralph at nicole.ralph@llcc.edu.
