Annual Wellness & Life Check-In — Overview & Instructions

Your health journey deserves more than just medical appointments — it deserves care for your whole life. This Annual Wellness & Life Check-In Guide was designed to help you take a step back once a year and make sure you have everything you need to feel healthy, safe, informed, and supported. Health isn’t just about lab results and screenings — it’s also shaped by whether you have access to housing, food, transportation, community support, and financial stability. These are called Social Determinants of Health, and research shows they have a larger impact on wellbeing than even medical care alone.


This guide walks you through key areas of your wellness — physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental — while checking for barriers that may be affecting your health. Throughout the checklist, you’ll find prompts about healthcare coverage, transportation, nutrition, employment, utilities support, caregiving needs, and so much more. If you discover that you need help in any of these areas, that’s a good thing — because identifying needs is the first step to getting the support you deserve.



How to Complete This Guide

  1. Review each section thoughtfully and check what applies to you

  2. Mark areas where you would like support or more information

  3. Use the resource line beneath items to list next steps or referrals

  4. Bring this with you when speaking with a care coordinator, coach, or provider

  5. If you’re unsure where to find certain benefits or services — don’t worry! We will provide easy tips, links, and guidance to help you locate these items on our website or through trusted partners



We created this tool because you shouldn’t have to navigate wellness alone. When people are missing essential resources, their stress rises, health declines, and goals feel further away. Our mission is to bridge those gaps — making wellness accessible, achievable, and joyful for every adult we serve.


Let this guide be your yearly reset — a moment to reflect, realign, and empower your next chapter. We’re here to support you every step of the way. 💚
