Live Life Well is here again!
The City of Scottsdale is committed to your health and realizes that investing in your wellness makes sense – and cents! You and your spouse (if they are enrolled in the medical plan) are invited to participate in a free and confidential wellness screening, conducted by Scottsdale Healthcare.
If you live in the Scottsdale area and would like to come to an appointment, we have included a screening schedule for your convenience. You may simply just show up at any of the scheduled times. You will need to bring your current insurance card and fast (no food or drink except water) for 12 hours prior to this appointment. You are encouraged to drink water to prevent dehydration. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll learn your numbers (cholesterol, blood glucose, body mass index and blood pressure). These numbers are important indicators of your health and the first step in learning how you can be healthier.
After you receive your results, you may take the Health Risk Assessment at www.simplestepslife.com.
