Biometric Screenings are vital in establishing a baseline of a person’s current health status and provides a roadmap to the future wellness. A biometric screening provides healthcare professionals and patients an opportunity to see any markers that could result in negative medical conditions in the future, such as diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions.
By offering biometric screenings on-site, you are laying the foundation to effective wellness program. Once individuals know their numbers, they can take a proactive approach in improving their wellness. At that point the group leader will be able to customize an engaging wellness program that improves individual metrics.
