Personal Wellness Profiles

A personal wellness profile (PWP) is a health risk appraisal.  This tool provides valuable personal information about you so that an indiviudalized plan for life-style improvements can be developed.  The PWP includes an assessment of your blood pressure, heart-rate, height, weight, and full lipid panel (all cholesterols).  You are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about cancer, safety, and cardiovascular risks.  The two-part visit is $40.  Call Corporate Health Nurse Donna Potter, RN, at 252-522-7815 to schedule an appointment or learn more about this motivational tool.

Join us on Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. in the Minges Wellness Center.
