Reminder: Biometic Screening Opportunities Coming to a Location Near You! New Johnston Date Added

Sign up now to get your biometric screening completed at Heartland AEA-specific sites! A Hy-Vee dietitian will provide these screenings. Please fast for a minimum of 8 hours prior to screening. The Hy-Vee dietitian will review the results of a full lipid panel, blood glucose, BMI, body fat and blood pressure. Remember if you get your biometic screening and fill out your health assessment, you’ll receive a FitBit! 

A full schedule of screening locations, dates and times can be found on the Hy-Vee website. Once you’re in the Hy-Vee website, go to the drop down box and select “Heartland AEA,” and then select the location that you’d like to visit, then you can choose a date and time to reserve for your screening. 

We have added a date screening date for Johnston on Jan. 20. Screenings will be held in Rooms 139, 104 and 108. If we do not have 10 people signed up for these dates, we will have to cancel them. The Johnston screenings on Jan. 21 will be in the Johnston Regional Education Center (Rooms 104, 108 and 113). 

If you do not end up making an appointment, you can try to walk-in to one of the screening locations, but it is NOT guaranteed that you will receive a spot, but it is possible due to cancellations. Remember, you will need to have fasted for 8 hours prior to the screening. 

And remember, you can still make your own appointment at Hy-Vee as long as there is a dietician on staff at the location you choose to visit. Be sure to call ahead to your local Hy-Vees before you schedule your screening, as walk-ins CANNOT be guaranteed.
