What is Healthe You and why does it exist?
At Advocate, we are committed to providing you and your spouse or partner with information and resources that support you and your health.

These resources are designed to help you reach the goals you have set for yourself. Take the first step to a healthier you by participating in Healthe You today!

Know Your Numbers
Knowing your biometric numbers, such as total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose is an important step in being the healthiest you! Site-based screenings will be available annually.
Can I still take the questionnaire if I don’t know my numbers or if I know some of my numbers but not all of them?
As a new hire – you will have the opportunity to capture these numbers through your employment physical. Be sure to keep this information until you are able to participate in the questionnaire. If you are not a new hire, supply the numbers that you know, as long as they are less than one year old, and check “not sure” for others. Having your numbers available will provide you with a more detailed personalized action plan.
If I participate in a site-based screening, when will results be available?
Your results will be provided to you within 5-7 minutes of the screening. You will want to keep the printed record that is provided so that you may enter your results in the Succeed Questionnaire. There is a handy wallet card available for you to download on the Healthe You website.
This card will allow you to copy your numbers and carry them for your convenience or place with your medical records.
How much time should I allow to take the questionnaire?
It will vary by individual, but it usually takes between 30-40 minutes to complete.
If I start the Succeed Questionnaire, but do not have time to complete it, can I go back in to finish answering the questions?
You can leave and return to the questionnaire to complete it as many times as you want. Each time you click "next", all the previous responses are saved. Completion of the Succeed Questionnaire occurs only when you have clicked the "submit" button at the end of the questionnaire.
What happens if I don’t complete my questionnaire?
Throughout the questionnaire, there are certain questions that are required. You will need to work through the entire questionnaire to ensure all these questions are answered. You will be reminded before you submit the questionnaire if any questions have been missed.
