Get healthier and earn rewards with Virgin Pulse, our online well-being platform. Starting in 2025, Virgin Pulse will become Personify Health. When you complete preventive care activities, like a screening or vaccination, you’ll receive a dollar reward and points. And, there will be slightly different point thresholds to make it easier to earn rewards.
What’s not changing? You and your spouse or domestic partner can still earn up to $225 each for completing preventive health actions and participating in a variety of healthy programs, activities and company-wide challenges.
