Learning. Fun. Rewards. It’s Heartland AEA Wellness!

On-site Health Screenings at the All-Staff Meeting 
The Agency is pleased to partner with Interactive Health and Hy-Vee to include health screenings as a part of the Wellness Program. New this year will be on-site screenings at the All-Staff Meeting on Sept. 27 at the Airport Holiday Inn in Des Moines. Two options will be available -- health evaluations and biometrics. 

Health Evaluations 
All slots for health evaluations at the All-Staff Meeting have been filled. 

If you’re unable to participate during the All-Staff meeting: you have the opportunity to test using a physician verification form provided by Interactive Health. Bring this form to a physician appointment. Call (800) 840-6100 and request a Physician Verification Form. Return the completed paperwork to Interactive Health no later than April 17, 2020. 

Biometric Screenings 
A few slots still remain!
7-9 a.m., prior to the start of the All-Staff Meeting. Please fast before this test. (More information is available when you sign up.) 

Hy-Vee will again conduct biometric screenings, as they have for many of you in the past. A biometric screening is a combination of measurements and readings about certain health factors that may be helpful in identifying potential risk factors for chronic diseases or conditions, like heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. This also includes a finger prick to gather blood, not a traditional blood draw (venipuncture). 

•  Go to https://www.hy-vee.com/health/screenings/group.aspx.
 
•  Choose Heartland AEA in the drop-down at the bottom of the page.
 
•  There will be four different events listed, all with a "details" link to the right that should be clicked on to find a time.
 
•  All four events are for the All-staff Meeting, so if you don’t find a time you’re looking right away, check the other events listed. 
 

Biometric Screenings Offered at Other Times
The Agency will also offer biometric screenings at our offices as we've done in the past. 
And remember, you can always go to a Hy-Vee store that has a dietician or to your primary care physician to have your biometric screening done. You will need to make an appointment with a Hy-Vee dietitian if you do a screening on your own.
