The 六合宝典 has teamed up with independent health provider Catapult Health to offer free, confidential health checkups to all district employees and their spouses enrolled in 六合宝典鈥檚 employee health plan.
The checkups, which began as a soft launch in March and run through September, are part of 六合宝典鈥檚 ongoing commitment to invest in the health and well-being of its greatest assets鈥攊ts employees鈥攁nd are among many health initiatives currently underway targeting staff.
Catapult Health first contacted campuses in March to arrange a time for a health representative to perform the checkups. The checkups are available onsite and are designed to try to help identify issues that may affect employee health.
A licensed nurse practitioner and technician, who are trained to make the checkups as positive and comfortable as possible, will conduct the checkups privately with each participant.
Employees will receive a confidential health report during the appointments as well as the opportunity to consult with a nurse practitioner, who will review the results, make possible recommendations for a healthier lifestyle, and referrals, if needed. The reports are available in English or Spanish, and are confidential.
Campuses that have not yet scheduled a date and time for the checkups, or that need to reschedule an initial set date due to low employee participation, may contact a Catapult Health representative at 214-396-4803 or e-mail jenni@CatapultHealth.com. Campuses have between now and September to schedule the checkups.
Once a campus has set a date for the checkups, employees will have until 1 p.m. the day prior to the campus checkups to schedule their appointment. Need to schedule an appointment? Just
If a campus has fewer than 30 participants sign up for the checkups, Catapult will have to work with the campus individually to reschedule the checkups for a time that allows for maximum participation. If the sign up for checkups at your campus is already full, do not worry. Employees may attend a health checkup at any campus, so long as they sign up before the above stated deadline.

Will my employer see my personal health report?

What if I鈥檓 healthy? Why should I participate?
A healthy lifestyle is a great way to help lower the risk for conditions such as heart disease or diabetes ...but it鈥檚 no guarantee. Likewise, 鈥渇eeling good鈥 does not always mean everything is OK. For example, many people with high blood pressure feel fine and don鈥檛 know they have it.
Early detection and prevention of potential health problems is what this checkup is all about. If you are indeed healthy, this checkup will confirm it ... and wouldn鈥檛 you rather know for sure?
What if I鈥檓 pregnant?
It鈥檚 better to have you see your regular OB/GYN instead of participating in this health checkup. Your tests need to be inter-preted by the physician who is helping to man-age your pregnancy.
Why is my employer offering this free checkup?
Your employer wants you to lead a happy and productive life. Good health is a major part of making that happen. Early detection and prevention of potential conditions will help assure that you enjoy better health. Plus, good health will help both you and your employer keep health costs and insurance premiums as low as possible in the long run.
