REDUCE ABSENTEEISM THIS WINTER

• Your employees are the most important element of your operation!
  
• Influenza (or Flu) is a viral infection afflicting millions of Canadians each year and is thus one of the major causes of absenteeism in the workplace!
  
• The most effective way to protect against the Flu is to have an immunization!
  
• In Canada the flu season usually runs from November to April.
  
• Vaccination antibodies only work for about 4 - 6 months, therefore the immunization clinics are scheduled for late October and early November.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• We will schedule an immunization clinic that fits your needs.
• You run 24/7….no problem, we can be there anytime of the day, any day of the week!
  
• One of our qualified Registered Nurses will come to your work place not only to administer the vaccination but to answer any questions or concerns your employees may have.
  
• Employees can choose if they want to reduce their chances of becoming ill with the Flu. Employees will sign a consent form prior to the immunization.
  
• Employees require minimal time “off the job” to receive their on-site vaccination.
  
• The flu vaccine does not contain a live virus so it will not cause influenza.

A Health Awareness Fair occurs at your workplace, and is a proactive service geared toward your employee’s health and general well being. A happy, healthy employee is more productive and less likely to prolong absenteeism.

The focus of a Health Fair can vary but often includes such personal health screenings as:

• Cholesterol Levels (early indicators of heart disease)
• Blood Pressures
• Body Mass Index (obesity can be a factor in many “silent” diseases)
• Blood Glucose Levels (diabetes detection)
• Waist Circumference Measurements (complementary information, utilized in   conjunction with above screenings)

Our highly skilled, trained health professionals will be available on site to perform screenings, answer questions, provide literature and direction to your employees on such general health issues as:

• Cardiovascular Illness
• Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention
• Nutritional Awareness
• Other topics as requested

In addition, representatives from various community groups are available to complement the theme. You choose: Heart and Stroke Month? Diabetes Awareness? Cancer? The options are many.

A Health Fair can be held in conjunction with an Immunization Clinic or alone. Whatever your schedule, we can work with you to accommodate all of your needs.
