1 Tell us something good Biometric screenings By: Mollie Berger, Marketing Intern APRIL 3, 2017 We want to thank each and every person who helped with or participated in the Biometric Screenings these past few weeks. Those who attended were able to have their blood pressure, weight, BMI, cholesterol (LDL and HDL), glucose, and triglycerides checked all while they were there. With over 1,000 screened, this event was a huge success! This would not have been possible without the help of numerous clinical and non-clinical staff on screening days, as well as everyone on the Biometric Screening Committee. Your willingness to help with this event over the last few weeks is much appreciated!

2 HIPAA Realities We will be featuring HIPAA violation stories in the newsletter for the next several weeks to help our employees to see real-world violations that have happened. We hope this will help us to all guard our patients' Personal Health Information very closely. APRIL April 19: Heart Walk Kick Off at T.J.
