A regular assessment of an individual's health can provide valuable insight on current and potential medical issues, their risk for chronic preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, and can identify strategies for improved health and well-being

WHY SHOULD I GET A BIOMETRIC SCREENING?

If your company offers biometric screenings, not only will you have the opportunity to learn more about your health at no cost to you, but it will also give you the convenience to know if you are at risk of cardiovascular disease diabetes and save you a trip to the doctor’s office.

WHAT COMPANIES SHOULD KNOW
