Know Your Numbers Program

Categories: Diabetes Prevention,Promote Health and Wellness

Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska’s Know Your Numbers program is designed to help employers use their workplaces as venues for promoting healthy lifestyle choices.  The initiative focuses on measuring employees’ blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and body mass index in an effort to educate them on their health status and encourage participation in wellness efforts.  Employers can customize the program by prioritizing certain health topics, although the common focus is on knowing health status, making wise health and financial decisions and focusing on changes that matter.
