Know Your Numbers:

We will be partnering with St. Mary’s and offering free biometrics screenings on May 15^th (in Muskie) and 16^th(New Commons 221). Come get your blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and body composition checked.

Know your Risk:

Take the University of Michigan Health Risk Assessment and learn how your behavior combined with your biometric numbers contributes to your risk of having a health event. It is best to take this assessment after getting an updated screening of your biometrics.
