Nelnet

Nelnet has shown strong commitment to helping employees live well and achieve theirwellness goals. US Wellness began our partership with Nelnet in 2014 by providing onsite biometric screenings to Nelnet employees across the country.

In 2018, Nelnet expanded their wellness services to include US Wellness’ online wellness portal which included incentive tracking and management, wellness challenges, and health coaching opportunities for employees at high risk for chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes.

US Wellness’ health coaching program combined online workshops with virtual, high touch coaching sessions with a licensed health care professional.

Nelnet has recently launched US Wellness’ new COVID digital monitoring app at all their worksites as part of their wellness program. US Wellness’ COVID-19 health monitoring app allows Nelnet to safely implement a COVID containment strategy
