Inspire Wellbeing is our associate wellbeing program that’s designed to offer the vital support you need to amplify all the things that inspire your wholeness. In this program, associates and their covered spouses complete wellbeing activities to earn points toward health insurance premium reductions, or a cash reward for associates not on a Centura medical plan.
We know the ongoing pandemic has put an additional strain on many of our caregivers and your families. In an effort to alleviate some of the demands on you, the preventive care requirement has been waived for any associate on a Centura medical plan as well as their covered spouse. This waiver applies to the current earnings period, with a deadline of March 31, 2022. If you and your covered spouse, as applicable, are on a Centura medical plan and do not complete a preventative care visit for this earnings period (April 2021 – March 2022), you will automatically receive the 250 Preventative Care Visit points.*
It only takes a few simple steps to earn your points, but the March 31 deadline will be here before you know it! Keep in mind that some components, like completing a tobacco cessation program, may take several weeks to complete, so don’t delay. Register or log in today to earn points toward your incentive and make sure you don’t miss out on these valuable rewards.
| Associates on a Centura Health medical plan: Start earning in just a few easy steps! ✔ Log in to Inspire Wellbeing. ✔ Take five minutes to complete your wellbeing survey to earn 100 points. ✔ Complete your tobacco status attestation to earn 400 points. ✔ Complete other fun wellbeing activities to earn 250 program points. ✔ The preventive care visit requirement has been waived for this program year. If you and your covered spouse, as applicable, are on a Centura medical plan, you will automatically be credited with 250 points whether or not you have been able to complete your preventive care visit. Together, these activities equal your full $1,000 incentive! Your covered spouse can also earn 1,000 points, for a total of up to $2,000 in health premium reductions.

On Thursday, Dec. 30, “We were home, still off for the holidays,” says Shelley Shields. It was nice day, though very windy, and Shelley had no idea what was about to happen to her neighborhood and others across the Louisville and Superior communities.
Shelley is a forensic nurse examiner and works on call at St. Anthony North and other Centura hospitals, where she cares for assault victims. As someone who helps those experiencing trauma, she didn’t imagine she and her family would soon be offered help for a traumatic experience they never imagined.
“A little before noon, my husband came and got me. He said, I need your help, something’s going on outside and there’s a lot of smoke,” she said. “Eventually we realized we needed to go.”
A resident of the Coal Creek subdivision in Louisville, the family lived miles away from where the fire first started, and they didn’t think their home was in immediate danger at first. Still, they evacuated to the home of Shelley’s mother-in-law for the night.
“I was optimistic all night it would be okay, because who would think it would get that far?” Then, a neighbor confirmed that sure enough, their house had burned down.
Before and After: Shelley Shields’ home in Louisville before the fire (top photo) and after. 
Although learning their home was lost has been very difficult, Shelley is focused on the fact that she still has what’s most important – her family and pets.
“Thank God we got out when we did. More than what we lost, it was thank God we and the kids and the animals are safe. We had the opportunity to grab a few precious items including childhood photos.”
She also says the outpouring of support from Centura and her colleagues “has been absolutely amazing. I’ve heard from multiple different people, they brought over a care basket yesterday. It is touching more than they’ll ever know!”
Shelley has had the opportunity to give interviews about her experience in the days since the fire, including with CBS 4 just before President Biden visited the area on Friday.
There is also a lot of work to begin the long recovery process, and the family will continue staying with Shelley’s mother-in-law for the time being.
“We’re very, very, very lucky. We have a house to stay in, we don’t have to worry about food or a place to stay,” she said. ”Our house is a house, but it’s stuff. It can be replaced.”
