Health Checks

Healthy Employees = A Healthy Bottom Line


At MedPro we offer a range of Health Checks for your staff in your work place. These are performed by our Registered Nurses, and the results are immediately available. Each person then receives healthy lifestyle advice, individually tailored to them. Options include:

  • Cholesterol (Total/HDL Ratio; HDL; LDL)
  • Triglycerides
  • Blood sugar and diabetes risk
  • Blood Pressure
  • Height & Weight
  • Body Mass Index (BMI)
  • Waist Circumference
  • Hearing and Vision Screening
  • Individualised lifestyle advice

Checks take approximately 15 to 20 minutes and results are discussed with each client.

Each staff member receives their own confidential results booklet. This provides a good record as well as information on what was tested. The employer has the option to receive an aggregated report of the health check results. This provides an excellent picture of the health risks they are exposed to and a great starting place for the organisation's wellness strategy.

Recent Studies Show:

  • More than 66% of New Zealanders are either overweight or obese
  • Heart attacks and strokes are largely preventable yet one New Zealander dies of heart disease every hour.
  • Poor nutrition has an impact on people's productivity through factors such as lack of energy, poor concentration and lowered immunity.
  •  New Zealand has one of the highest rates of Diabetes in the OECD and this increases risk of cardiovascular disease significantly.
  • A high percentage of people are not operating at their full capacity due to their health. This can be improved with simple lifestyle changes.
