Better You Strides

Changes to Better You Strides

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have delayed communications of the 2020 wellness incentive program on the CafeWell platform. Beginning on May 15, we will shut down access to CafeWell altogether. On July 1, we will transition to a new wellness platform called Onlife. This transition will make completing your wellness activities much simpler during this difficult time and in years to come. Other organizations that have already transitioned to the Onlife platform have had positive feedback and experiences.

For GatorCare subscribers, you will still access your platform the same way through floridablue.com.
For Benefits-Eligible employees who waive health insurance coverage, registration information for the Onlife platform will be available on the Bridge and on this page by July 1. Any points earned on the CafeWell platform prior to May 15 will carry over to your personalized individual report when we begin in July.

All UF Health benefits-eligible employees are eligible to participate in this voluntary program. Participants will need to complete an online health assessment, a flu vaccination, and be tobacco-free or complete a Quit Tobacco program on the platform to earn 150 points ($50 value). Once participants earn 150 points, they will receive a custom link via email to redeem for gift cards and merchandise on the All Star rewards website. Participants must complete the three required activities by September 30 and redeem by October 31. More specifics detailing the Onlife wellness platform, how to register, and how to earn and view points will be available closer to July. In the mean time, we encourage you to stay safe and stay well through this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email your Florida Blue Wellness Coordinator, Kaitlyn Cantor, at kaitlyn.cantor@bcbsfl.com.
