Slide Notes

Today, we will be discussing our Health Assessment program and some improved changes for 2018. I would like to announce that we have partnered with our Health Insurance (HI) Co. and we are including an "on-line" health and wellness activity that will qualify you with some great prizes.

In 2012, it was predicted that almost 50% of US employers with greater than 50 employees provided some type of employee health wellness program (Pronk, 2014) and we are proud to say that our organization is part of this 50%.

Managing Your Health

Know your numbers
Reduce health risks
Reduce health cost (Klatt et al., 2016)

During the Health Assessments you will have to opportunity to get your blood drawn, blood pressure checked, and a Body Mass Index (BMI), and meet with the medical team to review your results.
The blood draw will check your levels "numbers" for glucose, HbA1c, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, complete blood count (CBC), and kidney/liver functions (comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP)).
When you are aware of your levels "numbers" you have the opportunity to reduce health risks and manage chronic illnesses.
Studies have been shown that, by lowering health risks and proper management of chronic illnesses can reduce the amount of medical care received and medical cost (Klatt et al., 2016). That in itself is an incentive!

Incentives

Once you get your blood drawn about one month later, we will have Corporate Health come in to discuss your results individually. During this time you get your blood pressure, weight and BMI completed. We will have several vendors such as local gyms, dental and general practitioners staff members, a chiropractor, acupuncturist, chair massages and a dietitian that you can meet with while you are scheduled here at work. The health assessments are free and confidential and you will be on the clock, getting paid during this time.
