Hy-Vee, Inc. announces today that it will provide 1,500 free
biometric screenings at select Hy-Vee stores throughout its eight-state region during American Heart Month.
A biometric screening is a combination of measurements and readings that may help identify potential risk
factors for chronic diseases or conditions such as heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. Hy-Vee dietitians will
collect a blood sample from a finger stick that will be used to determine cholesterol levels, triglycerides and
glucose levels. They will also take resting blood pressure, height, weight and waist measurements, and will
calculate body mass index. The entire screening process typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, and all results will be
reviewed and received during the screening. Individuals must be 18 years or older to participate, and are
required to fast 10-12 hours is required prior to screening.
Registration is required for the free biometric screening, which can be done online. Once registered, a local Hy-
Vee dietitian will schedule a screening based on availability. Free biometric screenings are only available for a
limited time and are provided in partnership by Silk, Mid-Day Squares, PB2 Performance Protein and the U.S.
Highbush Blueberry Council. A list of Hy-Vee locations offering the screening can be found below.
