Get started on a healthier you by taking a Health Risk Assessment.
What’s the best way to get started on a healthier you? Complete a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) offered by your medical plan. The HRA is a short online questionnaire that will provide you with a personalized profile of your health status that you can share with your doctor. UC will not have access to the results of your HRA.
Accessed through your medical plan’s website, the HRA questionnaire is fast, free and confidential. Some medical plans offer incentives for completing one. Most importantly, you can use your personalized HRA report to help determine the next wellness steps you can take.

The UC Living Well website puts practical health-related information right at your fingertips. You will find links to your medical plan, its HRA and wellness services and what is available on UCLA’s campus.
