Worksite Wellness
your wellness is our mission!
GET STARTED (Pre-intervention Screenings and Assessments)
As part of a comprehensive worksite wellness program, the Lake Cumberland District Health Department can provide several screenings and assessments to give employers a thorough knowledge of their staff’s general health status and attitudes, as well as feedback in regards to the organization’s environment and culture in relation to Worksite Wellness.
Potential Screenings and Assessments Include
CDC Worksite Health Score Card
The Centers for Disease Control Worksite Health Score Card, is a tool designed to help employers assess the extent to which they have implemented evidence-based health promotion interventions, helps them to identify gaps in their health promotion programs, and assists them in the prioritization of high-impact strategies for health promotion at their worksites.
Employee Interest and Needs Survey
The Employee Interest and Needs Survey is utilized to assess the employees’ overall level of interest in regards to improving their health. It also identifies which intervention strategies the employees would find most beneficial.
Health Calculator and Wellness Profile
Developed by experts at the LCDHD, the Health Calculator and Wellness Profile is a robust health education tool which empowers individuals to not only better understand their current health status, but also provides suggestions for how to improve such through preventive measures and health screenings.
For those agencies contracting with us to provide Worksite Wellness support, we can combine your employees’ results into a group report which will provide a snapshot of the health of your personnel as a whole and guide intervention efforts.
Biometric Screen
The Biometric Screen combines basic lab work and biometric measures with general counseling.
| • Lab Work Includes: o Total Cholesterol o LDL o HDL o Ratio o Triglycerides o Glucose |
• Biometric Measures Include: o Height o Weight o BMI o Blood Pressure o Waist Measurement |
The lab work is completed using a machine with immediate results and only requires a finger stick. We are able to provide same day counseling on site. Participants with abnormal results will be referred to their medical provider. Participants will receive one on one counseling regarding their results.
Glucose Screening
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Because people with diabetes often have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease, they may be undiagnosed for many years.
The screening is completed using a machine with immediate results and only requires a finger stick. We are able to provide same day, one on one counseling on site. Participants with abnormal results will be referred to their medical provider. For most accurate results, participants need to be fasting –no food or drink for at least 8 hours. Total time for screening and counseling is approximately 10 minutes.
