Health Awareness Programs
Format
The Health Awareness Program is vital to increasing employee awareness of their health status. This program is an interlocking system of health profiles, with professionally collected specimens to increase accuracy and thoroughness.
Once you have chosen a profile of customized panels, our team of professionals will go to your work site to collect blood samples, conduct blood pressure and resting heart rates, perform biometric evaluations and acquire a brief personal and family history.

Features
- Uniform collection procedures ensure reliable data
- Targets health risks which account for the highest treatment costs
- Program can identify and help high-risk employees on a confidential basis.
- Life-threatening results are phoned to the participant by licensed health care provider
- Promotional and administrative guideline materials provided
Benefits - Proven effective in companies from 10 to 100,000 employees
- Employees appreciate the program because they see it as improving thier long-term health
- Attracts a very high level of participation from all levels of the organization
- Minimizes employer involvement yet maximizes convenience
- Motivates employees to make changes that improve their health
- Helps reduce health care costs through early detection
CHS in conjunction with our reference laboratories is able to formulate any combination of lab tests listed below to develop individualized panels for participating companies.
1. Coronary Risk Profile—Screens for heart disease and includes:
1. Coronary Risk Profile—Screens for heart disease and includes:
- Total cholesterol• Triglycerides
- High-density lipoprotein ("GOOD CHOLESTEROL")• Lipoprotein
- Low-density lipoprotein ("BAD CHOLESTEROL)• Risk ratios I and II
2. Comprehensive Health Profile — Includes all tests listed above in the Coronary Risk Profile plus:
- Tests for heart disease, diabetes, metabolic function, kidney function, bone metabolism, liver function, infection, nutritional status, anemia, hematological (blood) disease and disorders
- Blood chemistries (glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, BUN, creatinine, BUN/creatinine ratio, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin total, direct & indirect, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G Ratio, AST, ALT LDH)
- A complete blood count (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells, MCV, MCH, MCHC, neutrophils, bands, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, platelets)
- ABO/RH blood type• RPR
- Antibody Screen• Rubella Screening
- Hepatitis B surface antigen• CBC
3. Prostatic Specific Antigen Profile
- Recommended for males age 40 and above and those with a family history of cancer. Referred to as a "PSA," this profile includes a blood test for the antigen (PSA)
4. Thyroid Profile — Includes a test for thyroid function and can help detect early signs of thyroid disease and dysfunction; also includes:
- FTI (T7) Calculation• Total T4

- Performed to determine the blood type and Rh factor for participants
7. Arthritis Profile — For the early detection of arthritis and arthritic disease/disorders; includes:
- RA factor• Uric acid
- C-reactive protein• ASO
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
8. Hepatitis Panel — A diagnostic profile for the detection of hepatitis; includes:

- FSH• BHCG (Qualtitative)
- LH• Testosterone
- Prolactin Progesteron
10. CA125 — For the early detection and treatment of ovarian cancer and dysfunction.
11. Heavy Metal Profile — For the detection of heavy metals recommended for those working in industries, which expose the individual to metal fragments.
