Hy-Vee will provide FREE biometric screenings throughout its eight-state region during the month of September. Hy-Vee dietitians working out of Hy-Vee Healthy You Mobiles will offer the FREE screenings to customers at 150 Hy-Vee stores. Appointments will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
A biometric screening is a combination of measurements and readings about certain health factors that may help in identifying potential risk factors for chronic diseases or conditions, like heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. The dietitians will collect a blood sample from a finger prick that will be used to determine cholesterol levels, triglycerides and glucose levels. They will also take resting blood pressure, measurements of height, weight and waist, and will calculate body mass index.
The entire screening process typically takes 10-15 minutes and all results will be reviewed and received during the screening. Please fast for at least 8-12 hours prior to the screening. You may continue to stay hydrated with water.
Screenings will be held at your Marion Hy-Vee on Friday, September 6, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Registration is not required. Appointments will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. For more details please contact Dietitian Melissa at 319-377-4803 or email [email protected].
