SUBJECT: Do You Know Your Health Status?

A critical part of being an informed health care consumer is having a clear and complete picture of your health status. That way you know what you’re doing right and where you need to make improvements.

Do you know your cholesterol numbers? Your blood pressure scores? How about your body mass index, or BMI?

These are important numbers to know because they give you a key element of your personal health picture. You know that if these numbers are within a healthy range, that’s good news, and if they’re too high, you may need to take action towards health improvement. Along with these health measures, the comprehensive Wellness Profile on your Highmark member Web site offers a more in-depth health status report. The Wellness Profile covers nearly every aspect of your health, including nutrition, stress and personal fitness. After you complete the Profile, you’ll get an action plan that identifies and helps you address your specific health issues.

So be an informed health care consumer. Get your numbers and complete your Wellness Profile today!
