A Conversation-Based Health Screening

Your 30-minute appointment is one part health screening and one part next steps consult. You can rest assured you’ll be working with a UK Wellness professional who will provide completely confidential one-on-one support every step of the way as you receive:

• A comprehensive health screening:
  
  This will include a finger stick (as painless as possible) and nearly instant results for cholesterol, blood sugar and more. Plus, height, weight and so on.
• The highlights of your results:
  
  You’ll receive a helpful overview of results, including visuals that will help you understand your health measures in a broader context. Because we know your numbers are not the whole story about your current health status, you’ll talk about just a few of them in terms of your overall well-being.
• An opportunity to reflect and set goals:
  
  What area of your health do you think would be the most impactful in increasing your day-to-day sense of well-being? You’ll be guided through thinking about some of these bigger picture questions.
• An invitation to move forward in a way that works for you:
  
  We like to think of this experience as a gateway to a vast array of UK experts and resources dedicated to supporting your health and well-being. Your guide will provide the information. The rest is up to you!

Moving Forward Post- Check In

As the name implies, your Check In appointment is just the beginning. You’ll leave your appointment empowered with:

• Your personalized paper booklet with your health screening results and well-being notes
• Access to your private screening results in our secure UK LiveWell dashboard that includes educational information about each biometric measure
• Knowledge of a specific next step you could take and the resources and tools you could use to make it happen

Prepping for your appointment

It is very important to be hydrated, so drink a lot of water the morning of your appointment. Also, staying warm around your appointment time will help ensure an easier blood draw from your finger stick.

It is not required that you fast for the health screening portion of the Check∙In; however, if you would like the most accurate reading for glucose and triglycerides, you will need to fast for 9-12 hours prior to your appointment. We realize this isn’t always practical or easy depending on your appointment time, so don’t worry if you choose not to fast: Non-fasting results are accurate with 2% for total cholesterol and HDL and glucose and triglyceride results will be interpreted. If you have diabetes and wish to fast prior to participating, please check with your doctor to see if and how to fast in a way that is best for you.
