In this fast-paced world, it can be easy to lose sight of your own well-being, even when you work in health care.
Cooper is again offering free biometric screenings, as part of our Thrive 365 program, to all employees enrolled in a Cooper health plan with AmeriHealth.
Biometric screenings provide reliable information about your risk for chronic preventable conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and obesity.
As an added convenience and time-saver, employees who plan to participate in the 2019 Cooper Annual Wellness Incentive can receive a biometric screening instead of an annual physical.
To be eligible for the Annual Wellness Incentive, employees must:
- Be enrolled in the Cooper PPO, Basic, Core, or Standard Plan.
- Complete an annual physical or biometric screening.
- Attest to being a non-tobacco user during Open Enrollment.
- Complete a Personal Health Assessment by clicking here.
What to expect at the screenings:
- For optimal results you must fast eight hours prior to screening.
- Screenings take approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
- During these screenings your height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, HDL, LDL, TC/HDL ratio, cholesterol, and triglycerides will be assessed.
- The screenings are administered by licensed RNs and LPNs from US Wellness.
- Screening results are confidential. You will receive a copy of your results for your records and to share with your provider. Results are also accessible to your Cooper provider through Epic if you choose.
Biometric screenings for 2019 are available on the following dates:
- May 7 through May 9
CCBO – Truman Room, 1 Federal Street, Camden
- May 10 and May 17
Cooper Clock Tower – 931 Centennial Boulevard, Voorhees
- May 16 through May 29
Cooper University Hospital – Administration Conference Room, Kelemen Pavilion, 2nd Floor
A summer/fall schedule will be announced in the coming months.
