Know Your Numbers! Biometric Screenings Offered at an Office Near You

We are happy to once again offer staff the opportunity to have their biometric screening done at an agency office! We hope this will make it a bit easier for you to get your screening completed.

As before, a Hy-Vee dietitian will provide the screenings, which will include a full lipid panel, blood glucose, BMI, body fat and blood pressure tests. The dietitian will also review the results of these tests with you on the spot. Please fast for a minimum of 8 hours prior to screening.

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. You are reminded to please be on time for your scheduled appointment, which should only last 15 minutes. Make sure to get a copy of your results so you can input them into the WebMD portal!

And remember, if you can’t make it to the office for a screening, you can make your own appointment at a Hy-Vee store as long as there is a dietician on staff at the store you choose. Be sure to call ahead to the store before you schedule your screening, as walk-ins CANNOT be guaranteed.

Remember, if you earned a Fitbit last year, you will earn 3 points for completing a biometric screening and taking the wellness assessment this year. These points can be spent in the new Wellness Catalog. If you didn’t earn a Fitbit last year, you will earn one this year by completing your wellness assessment.
