Health profile
     In an effort to develop a wellness program specifically designed for
its employees, the University invites all employees to have a health
profile completed. This profile includes filling out a short questionnaire
and having blood pressure, body composition and cholesterol measured free
of charge at one of three sites on campus.
     Based on this information, each employee will receive an immediate
computerized report that may be discussed with a counselor. In addition,
there will be free handouts on health-related topics.
