1. Why Wellness Screenings?
In 2010, 442 people did health screenings through Meeker Magner Company
Here are some of the interesting statistics:
18% smoke
57% were recommended to seek care at their physician for follow-up
148 are taking steps to improve their health including use of telephonic coaching services (free
of charge)
Many people who had taken the test in prior years had NEW conditions discovered:
8 Anemia
14 High Blood Pressure
58 High cholesterol
5 Diabetes
26 Liver disease
Wow! Scary to think what would happen to these folks if they didn’t find-out about the
conditions until much later.
The experts say that 70% of these chronic conditions are preventable or reversible. Doing
something about their condition is up to the person being tested. We’re giving them a start with
their own test results. Our clients value this service as they can see it improves morale,
productivity and claim costs (which of course positively affect their health premium cost).
