Logo for Orange County Public Schools Employee Wellness Program.

 

Orange County Public Schools believes that a healthy staff can more effectively perform their assigned duties and model appropriate wellness behaviors to students. The OCPS Employee Wellness Program (EWP) is designed to reach all employees at various levels of interest and need. Since we are self-insured, we strongly support wellness activities that encourage our employees to play an active role in their own health status. We offer preventive and disease management activities in two parallel tracks of complementary services (clinical/non-clinical). Both tracks offer a full continuum of prevention, early detection and health maintenance components.

The EWP offers support in a variety of disease states including asthma, diabetes and heart disease, along with programs in smoking cessation, well-pregnancy, weight loss and special screenings.

Group-focused prevention activities and education are offered through trained, school-based wellness representatives. Wellness representatives also act as communication liaisons, keeping their population informed of available services and programs.

    • Preventative Health Care Understanding What's Covered
      • Preventive care is a specific group of services recommended when you don’t have any symptoms and haven’t been diagnosed with a related health issue. It includes annual wellness exams and specific tests, certain health screenings, and most immunizations.

     

    • How to Prepare for Your Annual Check-up
      • Whether you’re in great health or working on it, your annual check-up is one of the most important appointments of the year. This is your scheduled, one-on-one time with your healthcare provider to discuss any concerns, get preventive care and screenings, and set health goals for the year. Preparation is key to make sure you get the most out of your time.
  • In a medical emergency, always dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. When your condition isn’t life threatening, you can save time and money by seeking the appropriate care. Always go to your Primary Care Physician (PCP). If your PCP isn't available try an urgent/convenient care center or try virtual care.

     

     

     

    • Virtual Care with MDLive
