Biometric Screenings

What is a biometric screening?


It's a quick series of tests- blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, body fat, and weight- all measured at your workplace through a non-invasive finger-stick blood draw and other simple tests. Results are collected and reported back to you in 15 minutes.

What's the value of a screening?


1- It can detect possible health risks early to prevent future conditions.
2- It provides a benchmark to compare your health to year to year.

Health educators are not focused on diagnosing conditions, but answering any questions you might have, congratulating you on what you're doing well, and giving you lifestyle suggestions to help you improve in any area before conditions arise.

 

Is it covered under my insurance plan?


Screenings are covered for all of our medical groups at no cost. (Minimum participation required based on location.)

 

How can I sign up?

This week we had the pleasure of screening the staff members at Rich School District. For being in the coldest of towns, they sure had the warmest hearts... along with a truly impressive wellness committee. Thanks for having us, Rich School District!
