The screenings are free for Excela Health employees. Your screening consists of height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood glucose. Scheduling is easy and can be done online! Visit the Voluntary Wellness Initiative page under Employee Wellness on the Intranet. View the checklist and read how employees can qualify for a reduced per pay deduction premium medical plan.

Sign up today for your free screening by going to the Calendar of Events on the Intranet. Don’t wait until August to schedule an appointment! There are plenty of screening appointments available now, which become very limited in August.

Black Tie for Hope Saturday, March 30, the Westmoreland/Frick Hospital Foundation hosted its annual gala at the Greensburg Country Club.
