WELCOME TO THE WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES:

Managed by the Personnel Department, this program is a resource to support City employees of the LAwell Civilian Benefits Program. Let us help you to live well by focusing on fun activities and challenges across these four pillars of wellness: Physical Activity, Nutrition, Stress Management, and Prevention.

You can use the wellness portal to personalize health goals and activities, either on your own or supported by co-workers.

Earn up to $30 in Rewards Cash* each quarter redeemable for gift cards or fitness accessories, in addition to incentives for special challenges.

After you complete a brief Health Check, you will receive a personalized set of recommended health activities.
You choose additional activities focused on your unique nutrition, exercise, weight loss, or personal health goals.

*As required under the Internal Revenue Code, cash benefits will be reported as taxable income on an employee’s W2 for any earned rewards during the tax year, regardless of whether or not it is redeemed.
