Free biometric screenings are available at convenient University locations through November 22. Sign up for your appointment online at the Health Advocate’s portal. Select Schedule a Health Screening, then Schedule to choose an appointment time.
The Law School will be hosting a biometric screening on Thursday, October 27, 9:00am – 2:00pm, at Silverman Hall, 2nd Floor, Levy Conference Center. To register for your screening appointment, use the above link to Health Advocate’s portal.
What You’ll Learn at the Biometric Screening
Quick, convenient, and confidential biometric screenings show you key indicators about your health. Your privacy is strictly protected. Penn will never know your individual screening results, health assessment answers, or personal health goals. Credit for completing a biometric screening and your results will automatically be sent to Virgin Pulse, if you are participating in the Be in the Know campaign (anticipate approximately two weeks for results to show on Virgin Pulse’s platform.)
At the on-campus biometric screening, a Health Advocate educator will measure your:
- Blood pressure
- Total cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- Blood sugar/glucose
