Lawrence is dedicated to supporting the well-being of you and your family by providing continuous wellness education and awareness programs. Each year we provide faculty, staff and spouses/domestic partners the opportunity to participate in a FREE, CONFIDENTIAL health screening. The purpose of this assessment is to make you aware of health risk factors that can lead to future disease and to support you in taking the necessary steps to achieve optimal health.
New this year:
- We’re changing the name of our assessments from Health Risk Assessment (HRA) to Personal Health Assessment (PHA).
- We are bringing back a former vendor, ThedaCare At Work, to administer our PHAs.
- We will be offering PSA Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests as an optional screening for prostate cancer for men over age 50.
- You will complete your online questionnaire after your PHA appointment is complete and your blood work has been processed by the lab.
- You are strongly encouraged to attend a Report Delivery group session to better understand your results.
Whether or not you are covered by the Lawrence University Health Plan, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. The PHA has many benefits and is not meant to be a substitute for an annual routine physical exam. In fact, sharing your PHA results with your doctor will enhance your physical exam, since you will already have these results with you to discuss with your physician.
When you participate in the PHA, you will:
- Complete a questionnaire and sign a lab consent form.
- Complete the PHA screening on campus.
- Receive a personal and confidential health risk report with your results. Please review this instruction sheet for scheduling and preparing for the screening and ThedaCare’s frequently asked questions (FAQ) document for more details.
The PHA is voluntary and confidential. No one from Lawrence will have access to your personal results. After all PHA screenings are completed, Human Resources will receive an aggregate report that we will share with the Lawrence community. This report assists us in providing you with targeted wellness programs.
For participating, members of the Lawrence University Health Plan will receive a health insurance premium credit of $50 per participant (employee and spouse/domestic partner) per month.
We invite you to take charge of your health! Register now at ThedaCare’s website.
