HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT

Preventing health surprises starts with a Health Risk Assessment

Eligible plan members are strongly encouraged to complete a Health Risk Assessment within 90 days of enrollment and each year while enrolled. Visit a Health Corner to meet with a Walgreens Health Advisor who can assist you with completing your Health Risk Assessment today – when it’s convenient for you.

Understand your health history and future

Health Risk Assessments are the key to being proactive and hands-on with your health. Instead of waiting until a medical emergency, which can be costly and inconvenient, you can talk to your Walgreens health advisor about your concerns, ask them questions on ways to become healthier, and understand if you have a chance of developing a serious health condition.

During your Health Risk Assessment your Walgreens health advisor will go over details about your medical history, including if health conditions are common in your family and if your current lifestyle and habits are good for your health. This information helps to paint an accurate picture of your health status.
