Step 1 - Health Screening

Health screenings may be completed at one of our campus screenings or by your health care provider. The campus screenings are free of charge. These screenings are for general indicators for health--they are not diagnostic tests. The following values will be collected at the health screenings: Frame size, Height, Weight, Blood Pressure, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, High & Low Density Lipoprotein (HDL & LDL), Blood Glucose (blood sugar), Waist Girth, Hip Girth, Body Fat Percentage, HbA1c (for individuals with diabetes).

Choose your Provider
You have two options for your health screening:

1. Campus Health Screening - Free health screenings will be offered from 9/28/09-10/29/09 from 7:00-9:00AM in the Human Resources and Training Center located at 169 W. Union Street. The screening should take no more than 30 minutes. To begin your participation in Healthy OHIO, call WellWorks at 593-2093 to schedule your free health screening.

2. Physician - Take the Health Screening Form to your health care provider for your values. If your health care provider does not have all of the values indicated on the form, you may sign up for a campus health screening to receive the remaining assessment(s). Screening values are only valid if peformed within the 3 months prior to the date when you complete the Personal Wellness Profile.

Health Screening Results
Campus health screening results will be mailed to you at your home address. You must have your screening results in hand to complete the Personal Wellness Profile.

The PWP is a survey containing items about medical history and health habits. Topics include: General Health, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Stress & Well-Being, Driving & Safety, Sleep, Tobacco & Alcohol, Mental Health, Lifestyle Changes, and Health Interests. Instructions for completing the online Personal Wellness Profile and your health screening results will be mailed to you. The profile should take less than 30 minutes to complete.
