Health Fair Organization Health Screenings our wellness staff has strong ties to hospitals in all of our clients areas. These relationships make it convenient for us to schedule free, onsite biometric screenings at your health fair. Carriers we bring a representative from your health insurance carrier on-site to talk to employees about the wellness and disease management programs they offer, as well as answer any questions they might have. We can also coordinate having your dental or vision carrier on-site. Employee Assistance Plan If applicable, we can arrange for someone to come and answer your employees questions about their EAP. Primary Care preventing problems using regularly scheduled visits with a primary care physician is one of the best ways to stay healthy. We can coordinate bringing a local primary care physician to your health fair to schedule well-checks, and to talk more about the importance of prevention. Fitness our wellness staff arranges for a local gym to send a representative to your health fair to talk about membership options, facilities, and general fitness. If you are interested, our wellness staff can also work on getting corporate group discount rates for your company beforehand, making it more convenient and less expensive to register at your health fair. Nutrition healthy eating is an important part of keeping your employees healthy, so we make sure that it is an important part of your health fair. We bring someone onsite from a local, healthy grocery store to bring samples of nutritious food, and to talk more about eating a healthy diet. Vision our wellness staff can find a local optometrist to do vision screenings and make referrals for your employees. Advocacy and Awareness our wellness staff connects with local chapters of national health advocacy organizations to come and share information at your health fair. We frequently invite organizations like the American Heart Association, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund, the American Cancer Society, and more. Safety Local fire departments and local American Red Cross chapters are great resources for safety at home and at work. Living Local it is important that your health fair is relevant to your employees. Bringing in local organizations and businesses specific to your community adds character to your health fair. Your local department of parks and recreation, a local outdoors recreation center, or a local community coalition can be great assets to your employees.
