Thank you for choosing the SpecialtyHealth Wellness and Prevention Program! Let’s go over the initial process on your pathway to success.
Our Wellness and Prevention Program is focused on helping you reach your individual health goals, whether it is health risk reduction, weight reduction, stress reduction, better nutrition, or becoming more fit.
This is a 6-month or year-long program that uses the latest “evidence-based medical guidelines” and laboratory testing. We explain your risk factors on an easy to follow “BIG 5” report that tells you if you have health risks, along with charts and graphs to monitor your progress.
The program is designed to give you the clinical, nutritional, fitness, and health coaching resources you need to accomplish your goals. We start with your Health Questionnaire (HQ) located on a secure internet based website to assess your health and testing needs.
It’s as easy as one, two, three!
-
The Health Questionnaire
Start by filling out the Health Questionnaire (HQ) :
- Complete each section of the HQ. If you are unsure, or do not have the information, you may input N/A and move to the next section.
- Biometrics. Please provide us with a current height, weight, blood pressure and waist measurement.How to measure waist circumference: Locate the top of the hip bone. Place the tape measure evenly around the bare abdomen at the level of this bone. Read the tape measure and record the waist circumference in inches.
- Once you have completed the HQ and clicked the submit button, you will receive an email notification of your HQ submission and can print a copy for your records. A copy will automatically be sent to SpecialtyHealth.
-
Fasting Blood Test
Once your HQ is completed, a lab requisition form will be sent to you via secure email with instructions to complete your blood test. If you live in the Reno area, you can request to have your blood test drawn at our facility. If you’re outside the Reno area, you will receive a lab requisition form for your blood test via secure email that you provided on your HQ.
The laboratory test is a “fasting blood test” (nothing to eat or drink, except water, for 10-12 hours prior to the blood test).
Appointment with our Medical Providers: within 4 days of receiving your lab results, we will contact you to schedule your Initial Wellness Visit.
Please note: your Initial Wellness Visit is contingent on the completion of your HQ and your blood test.
