Biometric Screenings
More information on each challenge will be in The Connection.  We would like to remind you that you can still sign up for onsite biometrics if this works for you.  You can sign up for this under biometrics tab on the Healthy Express site.  If you can't make it to one of the onsite screenings, you can either make an appointment with your local Hy-Vee dietician, or you can visit your doctor. If you have any questions, contact Katie Streff.
