Love Your Life (LYL)

Love Your Life LogoMove towards better health through our Love Your Life (LYL) wellness incentive program. LYL promotes healthy living through behavioral and educational activities for its program participants. When you join LYL, you’ll receive an individual summary based on a comprehensive health assessment including blood pressure, weight and body composition screening and a multi-panel blood draw test. Throughout the year, to help you maintain good health or improve your health, you’ll have access to numerous support programs such as health coaching, quarterly wellness credit incentives, and much more. All ARHS employees are eligible to participate and can earn substantial rewards throughout the year for participation.
