Please do your best on these assessments. You're not expected to be a security expert, just a smart consumer for the health of the organization and for your own personal online safety in this tricky cyber world we live in. Training like this may prevent you from identity theft and scams that are becoming more common. Please take the time to educate yourself!
Health Risk Assessments (HRA)- Instructions
Health Risk Assessments for employees enrolled in the City's health insurance are scheduled for October 15th - 18th, 2019. In order for you to access the City's Health & Wellness Clinic and avoid a 5% monthly health insurance premium contribution, you must complete an annual Health Risk Assessment (HRA). Additionally, retirees and spouses must participate in the HRA to use clinic services. Healthstat will conduct the HRAs at the Transit Building (4303 39th Avenue) during the following dates and times:
| Tuesday, October 15th | 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
| Wednesday, October 16th | 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. |
| Thursday, October 17th | 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. |
| Friday, October 18th | 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
Online registration begins Tuesday September 17, 2019 allowing you to schedule your HRA appointment as well as complete your health questionnaire electronically.
HRAs include a healthy life survey, a fasting blood draw (glucose, triglycerides, total HDL and LDL cholesterol) a blood pressure check, and height and weight measurements. Healthstat will mail each participant a report with their results to their home address. Please note the report is confidential, and the City of Kenosha will not see individual results. If you have the results of a fasting blood test that was completed in the last 90 days, you may bring a copy with you to your appointment time in lieu of another blood draw.
New employees hired in 2019 should not participate in the group HRA in October.
Employees who wish to complete an HRA must do so during the group event in October. Therefore, you may only schedule an alternate HRA appointment if you have an approved absence such as an extended medical leave or vacation. Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact Human Resources if you need to schedule an HRA outside of the appointment times provided in this email.
Flu Vaccines
Flu Vaccines will be available during the same days and hours (see chart above and attachment) as the HRAs at the Health & Wellness Clinic. Vaccines are available for all employees, spouses and retirees. No appointment is needed.
