When do I get my results?

As requested, the above screening result session is reserved as a one-on-one. All screening participants are strongly encouraged to attend a Screening Result Session to pick up their results and have their results explained to them by a Health Educator. Screening packets that are not picked up after a Screening Result Session will be left in sealed, confidential envelopes with a company representative that you designate.

What if my results are outside the normal range?

Results outside the normal range present you with a Health Risk. The more risks, the greater the chance for cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. We recommend you consult your health care provider when this occurs. An extra copy of your results will be provided in your packet so that you may take a copy of your results with you to your next health care provider appointment. This screening does not take the place of routine medical exams.
