If you participate in an FCPS health plan as the primary cardholder, you may earn a $100 wellness incentive, if you complete your online health assessment (HA) by December 31.
The HA is an online questionnaire related to your general health and well-being. It's easy to complete, takes about 15-20 minutes, and is confidential. Only you and your health plan receive the individual information. It is never shared with FCPS, in compliance with state and federal privacy laws.

#OurFCPS Faces: Pam Clingenpeel
Pam Clingenpeel never dreamed she’d be hiking through a jungle, fighting ice and windstorms or scaling peaks in Tanzania as she entered her 25th year of teaching with FCPS. “It’s interesting,” she said, “While I challenge my students every day, encouraging them to try, to work hard, and to go the extra mile, I think I’d lost the will to push myself.”
Pam is a physical education teacher at Lanier MS and a lifelong athlete. She recently adjusted her lifestyle to focus on less strenuous hobbies, including geocaching in local parks and walking or hiking the hills of Fairfax County. But, once she decided to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro, Pam jumped into preparation and training for the challenging trek. How did she do against the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro? Find out and see her amazing photos!
