PHA Follow-up

If you participated in the PHA process this fall, I hope you’ve had a chance to review your personalized PHA report at www.thedacarepha.net.  If you have any questions or concerns about the results, please contact our onsite ThedaCare RN Laurie Ehlers at laurie.ehlers@lawrence.edu to schedule a time to review your report.

Please note Laurie will be reaching out to individuals with elevated biometric results.  Laurie will ensure participants are aware of the elevated biometric findings and direct the participants to resources to address their concerns.  Laurie is a ThedaCare employee, not a Lawrence employee.  Anything discussed with her is completely confidential, as it would be with any healthcare provider.
