Virgin Pulse is the City's health care management services provider. It provides the tools and support that employees need to lead a healthy lifestyle. 

By signing in to their personalized and confidential Virgin Pulse portal, employees can track many aspects of their health and fitness. By doing so, they can earn rewards and points toward their annual Healthy Challenge Cash Payout of either $150, $200 or $250.

Additionally, by participating in the Healthy Challenge Premium Incentive program, employees can avoid paying an additional $100 per month on their insurance premium.

Employees have until Aug. 31, 2022, to complete the requirements to earn their Healthy Challenge Premium Incentive. If you have a spouse on the health plan, they will also need to complete the Premium Incentive activities before the deadline in order for you to earn the Premium Incentive.

Employees have until Dec. 15, 2022, to earn their Healthy Challenge Cash Payout. Spouses are not eligible for the Cash Payout so they do NOT need to complete the Dec. 15 deadline.
