In the United States, more than 75% of all adults are at an increased risk for diabetes, stroke, or heart disease — and most don’t even know it. Combined with other common issues such as stress and weight management, just about everyone is dealing with risk factors that impact their long-term health.
Proactively managing your health starts by understanding your risk levels. When you have more knowledge, you can take the necessary steps to help prevent serious diseases. Over the past several years, health risk assessments (HRAs) have emerged as a valuable tool for helping you identify potential risks and make more informed decisions about managing your health. HRAs ask a variety of questions about your current health, family history, and lifestyle, and then use a sophisticated algorithm to help determine how different factors may increase your risk for a specific disease or health concern. HRAs don’t replace regular visits to your doctor or routine screenings, but they do offer an easy way to get quick and valuable insight into where your health may be headed.
Community Memorial is pleased to offer several free online health risk assessments. Each assessment takes just a few minutes to complete and is confidential. After completing each HRA, you’ll receive a personalized report you can review with your doctor to ensure you are taking the right steps to protect your health.
Knowledge is power, but it also takes action to stay healthy and well. That’s why based on your risk level, you may also be offered the opportunity to connect with a member of the Community Memorial wellness team to discuss the resources and support we have available. We offer a variety of programs and services designed to help you make positive changes to your lifestyle and lower your overall risk for chronic disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Taking control of your health is reward enough, but right now Community Memorial is giving you another reason to spend a few minutes taking an HRA. Complete a quick and easy online HRA before June 30, 2023, and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card!*
