Health Screening

Corporate Health Screenings

How do you gain an accurate pulse of your employees' health? The first, and most critical, step in any corporate wellness solution is a basic health screening. If you don’t know the health issues that are facing your employee population, how can you target initiatives to help your people become healthier?

TotalWellness offers a variety of health screenings, including finger-stick and venipuncture blood draw cholesterol & glucose testing, blood pressure checks, height/weight/body mass index (BMI) measurements, waist circumference readings, bone density screenings, body fat testing, carotid artery screening, pulmonary function testing, and more. Our screenings are developed to provide accurate results that are nearly always provided immediately on-site.

Why are TotalWellness’ screenings the best in the nation?

Screening Glossary

Health Screening	Why it is important…	How the screening is conducted…
Blood Pressure Check	High blood pressure may indicate an increased risk of stroke, heart disease, or other illness.	A cuff is placed on a participant’s arm and gently tightened and released to gather the blood pressure reading.
Body Fat Screening	Too much fat increases your risk for disease and too little fat is linked to problems with temperature regulation, hunger, fatigue, depression, and fertility in women.	The participant holds a small bio-electrical device and pushes a button. The device does its job with no feeling to the participant.
Bone Density Screening	Bone density is an indicator of osteoporosis risk.	Ultrasound technology is utilized to measure the density of the health bone. The test is quick, easy, and pain free.
Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening	The carotid artery supplies the majority of blood flow to the brain. Narrowing of the carotid artery increases the risk of stroke.	An ultrasound wand is gently circled on the neck and an image is produced on a computer screen showing the artery and possible blockage.
Chair Massage	Massage offers a relaxing opportunities for participants to relieve stress.	Participants are seated and receive a back, neck, and arm massage. Clients are able to set the massage length.
Colorectal Cancer Screening	Participants 50 years and older are at higher risk for this disease, so screening is recommended.	Participants are provided with “throw-in-the-bowl” take home kits that change color when blood is present in the stool. Blood in the stool can be an indicator of Colorectal Cancer.
Fitness Testing	This test evaluates a participant’s aerobic (endurance) and anaerobic (strength & power) energy systems.	Participants tightly grip a handheld dynamometer to measure their strength and power. The Harvard Step Test, a 3 minute test in which participants step up and down on a step in accordance with a metronome pace, is utilized to measure endurance. Participants complete the test and then our staff monitor their heart rate and recovery to determine endurance.
Pulmonary Function Testing	This test measures lung capacity.	Participants blow hard and fast into a small, hand-held spirometer which measures their pulmonary function and displays participant’s results on a computer screen.
Skin Screening & Sun Damage Test	This test locates oily skin, sun-damaged skin, occluded pores, and overly dry skin on the face.	A DermaView™ Facial Analyzer uses special lighting to show problem areas on the face.

Blood Screenings

Health Screening	Why it is important…	How the screening is conducted…
Cholesterol Test	Too much cholesterol can indicate increased risk of heart disease and stroke.	Blood samples are gathered through a finger-stick or a venipuncture. Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, TC/HDL Ratio values can be provided. Participants do not need to fast for TC, HDL, or TC/HDL ratio to be provided. Participants must fast for at least 9 hours for LDL readings to be provided.
Glucose Test	Increased glucose blood levels can be an indicator of diabetes.	Blood samples are gathered through a finger-stick or a venipuncture. Participants do not need to fast for glucose readings to be provided.
Triglyceride Test	Triglycerides indicate the fat in the blood. Too much fat in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.	Blood samples are gathered through a finger-stick or venipuncture. Participants must fast for at least 9 hours for triglyceride values to be accurate.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test	PSA can be an indicator of prostate cancer in males.	Blood samples are gathered either through a finger-stick or a venipuncture blood draw.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)	TSH measures thyroid gland function, which is related to multiple metabolic disorders.	Blood samples are gathered via a venipuncture blood draw.
Cotinine	Cotinine, is a metabolite of nicotine and reports positive or negative tobacco use.	Blood samples are gathered via a venipuncture blood draw, or saliva samples are collected and analyzed on-site.
Homocystein	Homocystein accurately describes an individual’s risk of atherosclerosis, or fatty build up in the arteries.	Blood samples are gathered via a venipuncture blood draw.
Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C)	HbA1C measures average blood glucose over a 3 month period and helps assess risk for type II diabetes.	Blood samples are gathered either through a finger-stick or a venipuncture blood draw.
Highly Sensitive C- Reactive Protein (CRP)	Testing the level of CRP in the blood can aid in the detection of heart disease.	Blood samples are gathered via a venipuncture blood draw.
