Upland Hills Health Facilitates Men to Know their Numbers

Knowing your numbers (your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose levels) is a great way to be proactive about your health. In response to many community requests, Upland Hills Health has launched a program just for the men in our communities to Know their Numbers.

Thanks to a grant that Upland Hills Health recently received from the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health, we are able to offer free health screenings to 75 men in our communities. Results of the screenings will be shared with the participants and, if they wish, their physicians. Each participant must commit to having one lab draw and screening in November or December and a second in August or September.

“We are happy to offer this program to the men in our communities. Often men avoid doctor visits and that can sometimes be very dangerous. We hope that the Know your Numbers program helps men become a bit more proactive about their health,” explained Karl Pustina, CFO at Upland Hills Health and a driving force behind the program.

To sign up for the Know your Numbers program, please contact Community Relations at 930-7112. Please call by December 24th, as initial screenings must be completed and we are able to offer the program to a limited number of individuals.

These staff members at Upland Hills Health have committed to being a part of the Know your Numbers campaign, aimed at
the men in our communities. To sign up for the program, contact Community Relations at 930-7112 by December 24th.
