When is the last time you took an inventory of your health and
lifestyle? Not just health statistics like blood pressure and
cholesterol, but an in-depth look at the way you live each and
every day. A HealthPass screening is an opportunity for you to
step back and assess your lifestyle.
You’ll start by completing a Succeed health risk assessment
questionnaire. This will help you prioritize what kinds of health
changes you may be ready to make, based not only on your risk
factors, but also on your readiness and confidence to make a change.
Next we’ll take your physical measurements, including blood pressure,
height and weight, body mass index (BMI), blood cholesterol, blood
sugar, and do a waist circumference and body fat analysis. These
measurements help indicate your risks for cardiovascular disease
and diabetes. Depending on your age, gender and risk factors, you
may be eligible for other screenings, such as a bone density test
for osteoporosis or a sigmoidoscopy to check for colorectal cancer.
Finally, we’ll put the two together. A professional health consultant
will help you determine your health risks, which lifestyle habits are
having the most impact on your health, and what you can do to improve
your health.
After you complete the screening, you can use HealthMedia interactive
lifestyle programs online at home to meet your lifestyle goals. Program
choices include weight management, nutrition improvement, stress
management and smoking cessation.
If you would like to complete the lifestyle program on paper, please let
the health consultant know at the time of your HealthPass screening.
