The UFCW Tri-State Mobile Health and Wellness Unit is equipped to offer free cardiovascular screening to you, at your worksite. The voluntary, confidential screening will take approximately fifteen minutes and will include the following:
Resting heart rate
Blood pressure
Triglycerides
Total cholesterol
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol
Glucose
Height
Weight
You will be informed of your results prior to leaving the Unit. Individuals whose results fall outside the normal ranges set by the American College of Sports Medicine will be identified as "high risk."
WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM AT RISK? Information packets and on-site counseling will be available while the participants are on the Unit. This program is designed to help people better control those factors that lead to poor health. Participants will be coached over the phone at times that are convenient for them by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, registered dietitians, certified diabetes educators, health educators and other experts. The Mobile Health and Wellness Unit provides an excellent way to learn how to take control of your own health.
