Saint Louis University Human Resources offers wellness programs to SLU faculty and staff encompassing physical, financial, spiritual, intellectual and emotional/social well-being.
Medical Premium Discount
SLU is requiring a biometric screening for anyone who wishes to receive a wellness premium discount in 2024. The wellness discount is $60 off their monthly medical premiums for an employee and an additional $30 for covered spouses.
Your screening will include blood pressure, glucose, hemoglobin A1C (this is a measurement of your average blood sugar over the past three months), and a cholesterol screening (HDL, LDL, and triglycerides).
Note: For the glucose and cholesterol testing, you must fast for eight hours prior to your screening appointment. This means nothing to eat or drink except for water. Take your medications as normal with water.
Saint Louis University partners with Quest Diagnostics to complete the biometric screening requirement. If you need further assistance, please contact the Quest Service Center at 855-623-9355.

Financial Wellness Month reminds us to think about and pay attention to our financial well-being. The timing is perfect to acknowledge financial wellness because tax-preparation season is upon us and in regards to planning a budget, now is the time to help plan for the future.
Read below for some tips on financial well-being.
- Create a financial plan
Put down all your fixed and flexible expenditure, your projected earnings, your plan for savings, and also possible investments. This would give you an outlook on your finances for the entire year. - Create a budget
Many people run into debts and financial issues simply due to poor planning and living above their means. Today, we urge you to create a budget for your expenses and to stick to it. Living within your means helps you reduce debts and save better. - Review your credit reports
Your credit score is the majority of your available and feasible finances. It depicts your creditworthiness, and the higher your score, the better credit loans you can get. Reviewing your credit report helps you know where you’re at, and how to get a handle on bill payments and limit your expenses. - Make an appointment with one of TIAA Financial Advisor-TIAA advisors are available
