Cholesterol, blood pressure and heart rate. Those are the numbers that help you take stock of your health then get the help you need.
Research shows that men often have worse health than women, partly because they tend to wait too long before seeing a doctor. The biggest health threats to men are heart disease and cancer. Both can be deadly, but with proper care and early detection, they can be managed. Early detection saves lives.
If putting off doctors’ visits sounds like you, make an appointment today to see a healthcare provider.
For those who work in production at Appliance Park or Roper, try On-The-Clock Care.
CareATC is either free or low cost for employees but a totally separate business from GE Appliances. It’s like FedEx inside Wal-Mart. FedEx is still FedEx and Wal-Mart is still Wal-Mart, but FedEx is located where their customers already are – making it convenient.
