Autumn-matic Wellness Fair
The Autumn-matic Wellness Fair has become an annual tradition of Wellness/Recreation Services in late October. Numerous businesses and organizations from the campus and community are invited to showcase their pertinent health and wellness information for students, faculty and staff.
We strive to provide information covering all of the areas of wellness including social, physical, environmental, career/intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Check out photos of previous fairs!
Next Autumn-matic Wellness Fair: TBA
10:00AM - 3:00PM WRC North Gym
Blood Chemistry Profile
Blood Chemistry Profile (BCP) testing is offered each semester in the Wellness/Recreation Center by Allen Hospital. Blood is drawn to test for twenty-three components including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, cardiac and liver functions, blood sugars, iron, etc.
One free blood chemistry profile per academic year is available to UNI employees who qualify for insurance benefits. Employees who wish to also have a prostate test (PSA) for $10 and/or a thyroid test (TSH) for $5 will incur that cost. Pay by cash, check, UBill, or payroll decudction.
Students as well as retirees, spouses and partners may pay $20 for the BCP testing and the additional fees for the PSA and TSH testing listed above.
Results are mailed by Allen Hospital within one to two weeks of the draw.
Fasting is required for testing. Upon calling to schedule, this information can be provided to you if you request it. Reminder calls will be made the day prior containing fasting information as well.
Call the Wellness Resource Lab at (319) 273-6119 to schedule.
Upcoming BCP dates: Tuesday, February 23 and Wednesday, April 14, 2010 from 7:00am-8:30AM. Additional dates will be added based upon interest.
