 Know
Your Numbers
Health Screening
Know Your Numbers is a fasting health screening offered by
Health*Matters. The screening measures total cholesterol, HDL,
LDL, triglycerides, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index
(BMI), waist circumference and body fat. Your confidential results,
seen only by Health*Matters staff, are provided immediately.
Knowing your numbers is one of the best ways to evaluate your
health and to provide motivation for managing your health. Even
if you feel great and look healthy, you may not know what's
going on inside. Many diseases are "silent" and affect
your health long before you feel anything wrong. Knowing your
numbers can help identify your risks and including your numbers
in the Health Assessment through StayWell
or Kaiser gives you a more complete picture
of your health status.
Read testimonials from UCB faculty and
staff.
To enroll, log in to Blu,
click on UCB Learning Center at the bottom of the Self Service
Section and type "Know Your Numbers" into the search
bar. The cost of the screening is $10.

By completing your confidential Health Assessment, you can gain insight
on:
-
Health risks you may currently have but don't
know about.
-
Information about topics such as weight management,
tobacco cessation and cholesterol.
-
Tools to help you make positive health behavior
changes.
Please note: To get the most complete picture of your health
risks, it is best to know your blood pressure, cholesterol level and
glucose level. Know Your Numbers Health Screening
can provide you with this information; however, you can still
complete the Health Assessment without these values and your results
will be based on the information you provide.
Kaiser
Permanente Health Works
UC Living Well, in partnership with Kaiser Permanente's
HealthWorks, encourages Kaiser members to complete the Total Health
Assessment.

Health Assessment, it is recommended (though not required) to include
your personal biometric measurements and health screening results
for height, weight, waist circumference, total cholesterol, HDL and
LDL cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Know
Your Numbers Health Screening can provide
you with this information; however, you can still complete the Health
Assessment without these values and your results will be based on
the information you provide.
Your Privacy and Confidentiality
When completing the HA, you will have the option to decide whether
or not to share your personal information with your Health Plan.
You can exercise this option by indicating your preference at the
end of the assessment.
UC will never receive personally identifiable information about
you from StayWell or from Kaiser. UC will receive only de-identified
summary information for the purposes of reporting and wellness program
planning. See the new Joint
Statement by University of California Health Benefit Plans Regarding

Testimonials from Know Your Numbers
Hear what UCB faculty and staff had to stay about the Know
Your Numbers Health Screening:
"This was FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for offering this service!
I will definitely sign up for this again in the future to measure
my progress in getting and staying healthy/losing weight!"
"It was an absolutely excellent experience for us because
of your organization, your skills, and your staff---all of whom
represent the very best of medicine and public health."
"It was great to have all these measures completed in
one short process, and to get the results right away, including
counseling. It is much less stressful than doing it with your
doctor, where anxiety and time constraints make you forget your
questions, or where the doctor doesn't relay complete information.
Excellent program! I've told my colleagues and they are signing
up too."
"This screening was great. I felt the staff did an excellent
job and were very informative. It's good to know my numbers!"
"The staff was very friendly. Everything was set up just
perfectly. Thanks to the campus for supporting this important
aspect of our life -- our health!"
"I get screened each year for cholesterol, etc. at my
physical but I never get the results - my doctor always says they'll
call if there is a problem. I liked this because I got the results
right away, with someone to explain what they mean."
"The screening was very helpful! The staff was great
and I am now more motivated to lead a healthier lifestyle in the
hopes of lowering my risk of disease."
"Your program would benefit all Americans. The convenience,
affordability, and education offer excellent preventive care."
