Letter from Stephanie

Let me begin by telling you that I am delighted to have been chosen to lead the Journey to Wellness program for our Commonwealth’s employees. It is truly my passion to empower Kentuckians to live healthier lives. I can’t think of a better place to do that than here with you.
As your State Wellness Director I will work hard to provide you with engaging,
educational, and fun wellness activities and programs that assist you, no matter where you are on your personal Journey to Wellness. These activities will occur as part of a four phase approach during this introductory year of the program. These phases include a “know your numbers” screening campaign, a fitness challenge, a weight management challenge, and prevention awareness.The Journey to Wellness program also incorporates services through Humana, our third party administrator, including the Virgin HealthMiles program, the Humana health assessment, health coaching services, and the Active Health disease management program.
The Journey to Wellness program is brought to you and supported by Governor Beshear and is designed to be a strategic and comprehensive approach to wellness for all agency employees of the commonwealth. This program fits perfectly within the larger mission and vision of the Personnel Cabinet to serve the needs of our employees and citizens; to be an employer of choice, to promote a one employer concept, to create a learning and development culture, and to enhance customer value.
My goal is to provide you with a wellness program that protects your confidentiality,
services your greatest health and wellness needs, delivers results, and enhances the culture of this organization, while promoting a fun experience of being well in your workplace.
I thank you sincerely for this opportunity and for your support and participation in the
Journey to Wellness program. Though it is a huge challenge to reach each of our
employees individually, I hope that this website serves as a place where you can find a great deal of resources to assist you on your Journey to Wellness.
Wishing you health and happiness,

Stephanie Marshall, MS

Wellness Hotline 1-877-KEHP WELL

The IRS considers any monetary incentive or gift card given to an employee as cash equivalents as something that should be included in the employee's taxable income; therefore it is KEHP's understanding that there may be an issue concerning the taxability of wellness prizes and awards. KEHP does not offer accounting, tax or legal advice.  It is recommended that recipients of wellness prizes and awards contact their own tax professionals for advice on this issue.”
