What is a Health Risk Assessment?

A Health Risk Assessment is a measurement of health indicators such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and fitness. It enables your employees to identify health risks early (such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, etc.).

Our Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is composed of an occupational demand review, employee health history survey, physical measurement of health indicators and a biometric screening to assess blood health conducted by an Allied Health Professional.  The HRA enables your employees to identify health risks early (such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, etc.) without having to visit a clinic.
