Biometric Health Screenings

The essential first step in designing a successful wellness program is evaluating the health concerns and needs of your employee population through biometric health screenings.

Blood draw tests

Venipuncture, or blood draw tests, produce very accurate results and are preformed by registered nurses or phlebotomists at the employer location.  We also have national service locations for off-site employees.

Results are available two weeks after the test and can be sent to the employee’s home or to the employer site.

Finger Stick Screenings

Finger stick screenings offer instant results and require just a few drops of blood. These screenings are preformed by registered nurses or phlebotomists at your location.  Result counseling is available immediately following the screening.

With either of these delivery options, the following applies:

• Employees are encouraged to share their results with their Primary Care Physician
• Fasting for at least 8 hours is optimal
• 6-8 weeks notification is required prior to the preferred date to schedule tests/screenings
• Aggregate, blind results are available to the employer

Both delivery options produce the following results:

• Lipid Profile (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglyceride)
• Glucose
• PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)

Other venipuncture options:

• C-reactive Protein
• CBC (Complete Blood Count) – Hemoglobin, Hematocrit and Platelets
• Chem 14 – Blood chemical profile
• Cotinine (Nicotine presence)
• Hemoglobin A1C (Indicator of long term elevated glucose levels)
• Thyroid Panel

Other screenings done at your site:

• Blood Pressure
• Body Mass Index
• Bone Density
• Waist to Hip Ratio
• Skin Cancer (Face only)
• Fitness Testing:  Sit and Reach (Flexibility), Hand Grip Dynamometer (Strength) and Three minute step test (Cardiovascular fitness)
