Let us help you have an employee health fair
Health or wellness fairs are a welcome employee benefit that also can help reduce your medical costs.
The best health fairs engage employees in the activities, offer health screenings and provide information about health issues.
Physicians Quality Care OCCMed can help you set up your health fair, and we can manage many of the services you’ll want at your fair.
This includes general health risk assessments; screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure and cancer; cardiovascular risk assessment; immunizations (including flu shots); any requested laboratory services and tests; and education and training sessions.
In compliance with HIPAA and privacy regulations, we can then compile your employees’ health information into a generalized corporate health report to allow you to identify and manage health problems within your organization.
- Plan well to have a successful event. Health fairs have a lot going on, from inviting vendors and setting up booths to providing giveaways and incentives so employees look forward to the event.
- Provide the screenings employees want. Many employees may not have the time or health coverage to get these tests themselves. Send out an anonymous survey well in advance to find out what employees would like at the fair.
- Be creative: Offer a blood donation station run by the local blood bank. Provide child car seat checks. Give massages.
- Offer incentives. Talk with your vendors, corporate board members or company owners to get funding for incentives that would boost participation. Maybe it’s a drawing for a Fitbit or Apple watch. Give out goodie bags that include healthy food samples or coupons for a gym membership.
- Include family members.
- Have fun! Find ways to make the health fair fun. Try a volleyball or basketball contest between departments or a walking competition to pull employees into your event.
