Prevention is essential to helping ensure a healthy workforce and controlling health care costs. Lives are saved each year when medical conditions are discovered. If detected in time, many diseases can be delayed or prevented, through treatment, improved nutrition and proper exercise. Persons who are “pre-diabetic” can be spared the high cost and dangerous health effects of diabetes through changes in diet and exercise. The risk of heart attack and stroke can be reduced when high blood pressure is identified and treated. Certain cancers can be delayed or prevented when nutrition and exercise are enhanced.
For many, health fairs are a valuable tool in gaining a broad perspective about an individual’s medical condition. All results are strictly confidential between the employees and MOHA’s medical staff. The overall condition of your workforce can be analyzed to determine the extent of any common and treatable medical conditions.
Health fairs typically take personal measurements of:
- Height
- Weight
- Blood pressure
- Body mass index
- Blood sample
- Sample taken and analyzed for cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and blood glucose.
Again, individual results are confidential. Overall group results can identify any widespread medical conditions that can be addressed.
