Wellness Screenings
Keep track of your blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose measurements, height, and weight every year by attending the WorkLife Programs/School of Nursing Wellness Screenings.
Wellness screenings for faculty, staff, and their spouses; retirees and their spouses; and graduate staff and their spouses are available over the summer months. Contact the School of Nursing at 49-46341 to register for an appointment.
I have been coming to wellness screenings every year since 1995. I didn't know anything about wellness screenings before coming to Purdue. It helps to know what my cholesterol is; it gives me confidence and helps me to feel better about myself. I always tell my wife what I need to do for my health: more exercise, watch my cholesterol, etc. and she always supports me in doing this. As we get older, it is more important to monitor our health.
