Health Advocacy

The City of Fort Worth's Healthy Challenge employee wellness program is facilitated by Ramp Health. The platform is used to complete the three (3) wellness requirements, listed below, and provides an interactive platform to actively engage in your total wellness. In addition to the platform, a Ramp Health Coach is present on site to provide individual health coaching, group stretch sessions, wellness focused educational opportunities, and more! 

To qualify, employees and their spouses, if the spouse is listed as a dependent on a city sponsored health plan, must complete the following three (3) requirements on their individual accounts by the August 31st deadline. Employees and spouses will need separate accounts.  

The three (3) requirements are: 

1. Health Risk Assessment questionnaire (HRA)
2. Tobacco Use (2 step process):
   • If you are not a tobacco user, you will be prompted to acknowledge the tobacco-free attestation.
   • If you are a tobacco user, complete the designated tobacco cessation activity to earn credit.
3. Biometric Screening Form (BSF) completed by your physician and submitted to your personal Ramp Health portal for approval by the Ramp Health team. Must be approved by Ramp Health to receive credit. 
   • Please reference the 2026 Ramp Health - Wellness Incentives Guide for more information relating to the wellness program facilitated by Ramp Health.

The City of Fort Worth has partnered with Carter BloodCare to provide onsite blood drives. Full-time City of Fort Worth employees who donate blood can receive an hour of vacation time (up to six hours per calendar year) and part-time employees can receive an hour of comp time (up to six hours per calendar year). 

All donations made outside of a city-sponsored blood drive will require submission of blood donor card with employee ID to HealthAdvocacy@FortWorthTexas.gov

Those who donate can also earn points for the Healthy Challenge cash payout or wellness leave. So, roll up your sleeves and visit the bloodmobile at one of our scheduled drives! 

Registration links for the blood drives are made available through the City's Roundup newsletter at the start of every blood drive month. You must provide identification (e.g., your City ID or driver’s license) when arriving at your scheduled donation time.

What does Double Reds (2RBC) mean?

Unlike a traditional whole blood donation, Automated Red Cell Collection (2RBC) allows the donor to safely give two units of red blood cells instead of just one — thus, the nickname “Double Reds.” The process separates blood into its components while it is being drawn. Because only red blood cells are being collected, enough can be collected for two red-cell transfusions and the remaining components are returned to the donor. The collection procedure takes just 20 minutes longer than a whole blood donation and can be performed every four months.  

• 2RBC Donor Requirements
  • 2RBC donors must meet certain height and weight requirements, as well as routine donor criteria:
    • Males must weigh at least 150 lbs. and be 5'5" or taller.
    • Females must weigh at least 130 lbs. and be 5'1" or taller. 

The City’s community centers are divided into three membership tiers (Gold, Silver and Bronze) based on the size of the fitness room and the number of pieces of equipment. Employee memberships must be purchased at your local community center (bring your City ID). Membership includes the price of an annual community center membership. Employee family members can also obtain membership at the standard rate. Please contact your preferred Community Center for more information.
