Biometric Health Screenings
The County is excited to resume Biometric Health Screenings! New for 2023, the County is offering a $50 digital gift card incentive to the first 500 employees who participate in these screenings.
What is a Biometric Health Screening?
A Biometric Health Screening is a clinical screening which measures certain physical characteristics to provide a snapshot of your overall health. For these screenings, you will receive a blood draw. The blood draw will measure the following:
Complete Blood Count (CBC) Panel
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Lipid Panel
A CBC Panel can be used to identify certain health conditions, like infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system, or blood cancers. The CMP tests for diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease. The Lipid Panel is used to screen for cardiovascular diseases. Together, these three panels will help to provide a baseline of your overall health.
The Incentive Program
The County is providing a $50 digital gift card to those who complete the Biometric Health Screening blood draw and meet with the Employee Health Clinic (EHC) provider to review your results. Upon completing both requirements, you will be sent an electronic gift card, valued at $50, from Tango. The email will include instructions on how to redeem your $50 digital gift card. For more information on the Incentive program, visit the MySLO Biometric Health Screenings webpage.
