Workplace
wellness has become a very important factor to both employers and employees. Initiatives undertaken to improve workplace wellness
bring numerous benefits for all concerned. Research has proven that every $1 invested in occupational health and wellness
returns $5 to a company's bottom line.
We Care offers several practical on-site wellness clinics designed to promote
overall health and wellness to your employees. Starting with a comprehensive workplace wellness program, our Health Risk Assessment
clinic will enable you to plan a series of workplace clinics to optimize health, reduce long-term costs and improve the bottom
line.
Health Risk Assessment
The Health Risk Assessment is a comprehensive tool designed to assess the current
health status and potential future risks of an individual. We Care's Health Risk Assessment includes:
- A 20 minute,
private interview with a Registered Nurse
- A custom tailored questionnaire called the HRA Personal Risk Profile
- Clinical
measurements - blood pressure, pulse, height, weight, hip: waist ratio, blood sugar test and blood cholesterol test
- A
health status report assessing if the employee is at low, moderate or high risk for future illness or disability
- A
Doctor's letter for employees who receive a high-risk assessment.
The clinical data is collected and aggregated
and a status report is generated that demonstrates the percentage of employees, by gender and age, at risk for specific disease
groups. This information can help management identify specific high-risk employee groups and assist in planning upcoming wellness
clinics and education sessions.

- Osteoporosis- Osteoporosis affects 1.4 million Canadians. Bone Density testing utilizes
a Clinical Bone sonometer, an ultrasound machine that scans the heel for bone weakness. Results are produced in 10 seconds,
indicating a low, medium or high risk for developing osteoporosis. Based on the results, the trained nurses can provide individualized
recommendations on diet, exercise and lifestyle changes or possible referral to your doctor for more detailed testing. The
procedure meets the clinical standards of practice across Canada. We Care can set up a customized, cost effective clinic at
your workplace, or testing can be arranged on an individual basis.
- Eldercare- many employees are
burdened with the responsibilities of caring for their aging parents. We Care offers telephone consultation or in-home assessments
to assist them in accessing necessary healthcare.
