Understanding the health of your organization can be challenging. Our Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) makes it easy! Our HRA will evaluate the overall health of your population. The information gathered will allow for tailored onsite and online health promotion programs to improve your employee productivity and health.

Our HRA will help you uncover which health risks are most prevalent within your small biz and to take proactive steps towards addressing them. Questions on the HRA focus on modifiable lifestyle behaviors in areas such as exercise, nutrition, tobacco, safety and stress management. In addition, it integrates questions from the Framingham Heart Study (American Heart Association), the Centers for Disease Control, United States Preventive Studies Task Force (USPTSF), as well as Prochaska and Clemente’s Stages of Change.
